Anglo-Norman Studies XXXIX 
Proceedings of the Battle Conference 2016

Anglo-Norman Studies is nothing if not wide-ranging. One opens each new volume expecting to find the unexpected – new light on old arguments, new material, new angles. MEDIUM AEVUM


This year’s volume continues to demonstrate the vitality of scholarship in this area, across a variety of disciplines. Topics include the forging of the Battle Abbey Chronicle; warring schoolmasters in eleventh-century Rouen; theimpact of the Conquest on England; the circulation of manuscripts between England and Normandy; and Earl Harold and the Foundation of Waltham Holy Cross.
