King and Warrior in Early North-West Europe

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (10189 ratings)

Description:This book explores the representation of the warrior in relation to the king in early north-west Europe. These essays, by scholars from the areas of Norse, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon studies, examine how medieval writers highlighted the role of the warrior in relation to kings, or to authority, and to society as a whole. The warrior who fought for his people was also a danger to them. How was such a destructive force to be controlled? The Christian church sought to challenge the ethos of the pagan tribal warrior and to reduce the barbarism of warfare (at least its worst excesses). We can follow this struggle in the medieval literature produced in the areas under study.ContentsMarged Haycock (U Aberystwyth), Poets and the Welsh experience c.600 - 1300;Charles Doherty (University College Dublin), Warrior and king in Early Ireland;Jan Erik Rekdal (University of Oslo), The medieval Christian king and fearless warrior;Ralph O'Connor (University of Aberdeen), Monsters of the berserk fury, shapeshifting and social dysfunction in TÃ?Â?Ã?Â¡in BÃ?Â?Ã?Â³ CÃ?Â?Ã?Âºailnge, Egils saga and HrÃ?Â?Ã?Â³lfs saga kraka;Morgan Thomas Davies (Colgate Uiversity), Warrior Time;Ian Beuermann (Nordeuropa-Institut, Berlin), Warriors and rulers in Old Norse texts from c.1200;Jon Gunnar Jørgensen (University of Oslo), Presentations of King Ã?Â?Ã?Â?lÃ?Â?Ã?Â¡fr Haraldsson the Saint in medieval poetry and prose;Stefka G.
