Notes


This book reconstructs the late Anglo-Saxon history of the church of Worcester, covering the period between Bishops Wµrferth and Wulfstan II. Starting with an examination of the episcopal succession and the relations between bishops and cathedral community, the volume moves on to consider the development of the church of Worcester's landed estate, its extent and its organization. These are analysed in connection with the very significant measures taken in the eleventh century to preserve ùand sometimes manipulate ù the memory of past land transactions. Of paramount importance among such measures was the production of two cartularies ù Liber Wigorniensis and Hemming's Cartulary ù respectively compiled at the beginning and at the very end of the eleventh century.
