New perspectives on the central middle ages in western Europe cover a wide range of issues. Six papers reassess how 'feudalism' is to be understood after Susan Reynolds' "Fiefs and Vassals"; in addition to her own response to reviews of her book, these are: consideration of the Germanic comitatus; 'feudal' vocabulary in "Dudo of Saint-Quentin"; the titles of the early rulers of Normandy; the rise of territorial lordships in the principality of Salerno; and a broad comparative study of 'military lands' in the early and central middle ages. The other five papers range over early Anglo-Saxon reuse of Roman artefacts; the exploitation of whales in early medieval Britain; Edward the Confessor's clerks; Abbot Faricius of Abingdon; and wage-rates in late twelfth- and early thirteenth-century England. Dr. C.P. Lewis is a lecturer in the School of History at the University of Liverpool. The contributors include: Susan Reynolds, Steven Fanning, Felice Lifshitz, Robert Helmerichs, Valerie Ramseyer, Bernard S. Bachrach, Carol Neuman De Vegvar, Vicki Ellen Szabo, Mary Frances Smith, Kevin Shirley, and Paul Latimer.
