Abstract | This session will look at concepts of identity in medieval England. Christopher Loveluck will use the multiperiod site at Flixborough, Lincolnshire as example on how elite identities were creates through trade and cultural hybridisation. Judith Jesch will look at a comparison of DNA studies and place-name evidence and examine the value of both for tracing Scandinavian identities in Anglo-Saxon England. Robert Rouse will consider the use of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking past in post-Conquest writings. |
