Opis

A study of social organization, political power, conversion to Christianity, and church building in Anglo-Saxon Yorkshire in 400-1066 AD, Kingship, Society, and the Church in Anglo-Saxon Yorkshire argues that the decision of local kin-groups to convert to Christianity transformed kingship, society, and even the physical landscape.

Recenzje

Well researched, interdisciplinary, rigorously argued, and ambitious in scope... Kingship, Society, and the Church will, of course, appeal to those researching pre-Conquest Yorkshire, but also to those researching Anglo-Saxon England more broadly, and the development and intersections of its ecclesiastical, social and political infrastructure and hierarchies.
