A rich tale of power and forbidden love revolving around a young medieval queen In 1002, fifteen-year-old Emma of Normandy crosses the Narrow Sea to wed the much older King Athelred of England, whom she meets for the first time at the church door. Thrust into an unfamiliar and treacherous court, with a husband who mistrusts her, stepsons who resent her and a bewitching rival who covets her crown, Emma must defend herself against her enemies and secure her status as queen by bearing a son. Determined to outmaneuver her adversaries, Emma forges alliances with influential men at court and wins the affection of the English people. But her growing love for a man who is not her husband and the imminent threat of a Viking invasion jeopardize both her crown and her life. Based on real events recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Shadow on the Crown introduces readers to a fascinating, overlooked period of history and an unforgettable heroine whose quest to find her place in the world will resonate with modern readers.

This book provides a unique work of reference cutting across ancient cultural divisions within Dark Age Britain, and it enables the reader to follow the careers of people as far apart in time and place as the early Kentish kings and Viking earls of Orkney. Entries range from well-known characters such as Merlin, Alfred the Great, the historian Bede and the Danish warlord Cnut to the more obscure Pictish kings and abbots of Iona. Each entry is presented in a succinct and compact form in an easily accessible A to Z format. Here experts on a multitude of early historic peoples in Britain have brought together a dossier of scholarly findings on all those whose lives can be reconstructed from an examination of early source material, incorporating the very latest research. Englishmen from Wessex to Northumbria, Welshmen and Cornishmen, Northern Britons, Scots and Picts, Scandinavians from the Danelaw and York as well as from the Viking earldom of Orkney and the Southern Isles, all take their place in this wide-ranging survey of the people of Dark Age Britain. This detailed work of reference, supplemented by chronological and genealogical tables, will be an essential tool for all those with an interest in Dark Age Britain.

In diesem Band der „Göttinger Schriften zur Englischen Philologie“ sind eine mediävistische Staatsexamens- und eine Magisterarbeit veröffentlicht, die kürzlich am Seminar für Englische Philologie entstanden sind. Sie nehmen den Leser mit auf eine Reise, die in den turbulenten letzten Jahrzehnten angelsächsischer Herrschaft unter König Aethelred II beginnt und mit dem mittelenglischen Gedicht vom Mann im Mond endet. Hat König Aethelred II seinen Beinamen ‚der schlecht Beratene‘ wirklich verdient? Unter dieser Fragestellung betrachtet Andreas Lemke die von Krisen heimgesuchte spätangelsächsische Zeit und untersucht dazu unter anderem die angelsächsische Chronik, Gesetzestexte, Münzen und einige literarische Werke der Zeit (Texte von Aelfric und Wulfstan, die Battle of Maldon). Andre Mertens hingegen gibt das bisher wenig geschätzte mittelenglische Gedicht (Mon in þe mone stond and strit) in einer kommentierten Edition heraus und zeigt dabei wichtige Ansätze zu dessen Interpretation vor dem Hintergrund des kulturhistorischen Kontextes auf. Beide in diesem Band veröffentlichte Arbeiten umspannen zeitlich, inhaltlich und methodisch das breite Themenspektrum der Göttinger Mediävistik und sollen damit als Ansporn für neue Abschlussarbeiten dienen. ; https://univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-941875-62-3
