Anglo-Norman Studies

The articles in this volume have a particular focus on aspects of the history of the duchy of Normandy. Their topics include arguments for a new approach to the history of early Normandy Norman abbesses and the proposition that Robert Curthose was effectively written out of the duchy's history. There are also two papers devoted to the Bayeux Tapestry: Sylvette Lemagnen's reflections on her job as the Curator of the Tapestry (a vital one for scholars of the period) and a challenging identification of its designer.<BR>Other subjects cover Pseudo-Falcandus Bohemond landscape and belief John Bilson and architectural studies and villein manumissions and the theology of the Incarnation.
