Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Historia de Sancto Cuthberto makes retrospective claims to lands granted to St Cuthbert and, in some cases, later taken from the church. Sections 8 and 11 refer to lands granted by King Ceolwulf (729–737) and lost around 860. Retrogressive technique is used to reconstruct the geography of these lands, within the widely accepted models of shire and minster organisation, drawing on post-Conquest feudal records. The circumstances under which these and other estates were taken from the church in the 9th century are discussed. It is argued that Lindisfarne’s territorial reach in Northumberland declined from a high point under a partnership between Bishop Ecgred (830–845) and King Eanred (c. 820s–850s) in the 860s in the face of the arrival of the Danish army and the collapse of the Northumbrian state. Some of the place-names of Historia 8 and 11 present problems of identification, where generic elements of the names have proved unstable. Early forms of key names are reviewed and discussed. | ||||||
