| Abstract | This strand of six sessions was organised to provide a unified forum for the discussion of Scandinavian history, which last year had been divided into several scattered sessions, some of which conflicted. The second of the six sessions will look at the Danish Empire, the largest Scandinavian empire of the earlier middle ages. The first two papers look at the impact of Cnut the Great's Anglo-Danish Empire in the realms of town law and coinage in 11th-century Norway, while the third will look at the legacy of this empire in the 12th century. |
