Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Draws on current knowledge, mainly from excavations, to offer a synthesis of evidence about Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham, and Stamford. from their earliest settlements onwards. All are on navigable rivers and on or near important earlier land routes. Lincoln and Leicester both had Roman walled towns. Each of the five was in 7th-9th centuries a secular and ecclesiastical centre for its region, providing services and manufactures and allowing an increase of power and wealth which attracted trade, even on an international scale, though none was a 'town' before the Viking arrival. After recapture from the Danes, Derby and Leicester remain enigmatic, though the other three have a little archaeological evidence, and Lincoln soon outstripped the rest. | ||
