Æthelstan Revisited: The Inter-Cultural Representations of a Reputation

Description

Few late Anglo-Saxon kings are as poorly-served in the chronicles of England, either before and after the arrival of the Normans, as Æthelstan (r. 924 – 939). Though charters, law-codes, and the famous Old English poem The Battle of Brunanburh speak to a vigorous king, personally active in the government of his realm, there is little by way of contemporary historical narrative of his reign to contextualise these glimpses of activity.
