M studies in Early Medieval Britain and ireland illuminates the history of Britain
3 and ireland from the start of the fifth century to the establishment of French-
2
7 speaking aristocracies in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, for historians,
4
: archaeologists, philologists and literary and cultural scholars. it explores the
6
1 origins of British society, of communities, and political, administrative and
t
a ecclesiastical institutions. it was in the early middle ages that the English, Welsh,
]
o scots and irish defined and distinguished themselves in language, customs and
g
ie territory and the successive conquests and settlements lent distinctive anglo-
D
n saxon, scandinavian and norman elements to the British ethnic mix. royal
a dynasties were established and the landscape took a form that can still be
S
a, recognised today; it was then too that Christian churches were established with
i
n lasting results for our cultural, moral, legal and intellectual horizons.
r
o studies in Early Medieval Britain and ireland reveals these roots and makes
f
i
al them accessible to a wide readership of scholars, students and lay people.
