Early Medieval Monetary History
Mark Blackburn was one of the leading scholars of the numismatics and monetary history of the British Isles and Scandinavia during the early medieval period. He published more than 200 books and articles on the subject, and was instrumental in building bridges between numismatics and associated disciplines, in fostering international communication and cooperation, and in establishing initiatives to record new coin finds. This memorial volume of essays commemorates Mark Blackburn’s considerable achievement and impact on the field, builds on his research and evaluates a vibrant period in the study of early medieval monetary history. Containing a broad range of high-quality research from both...
Coinage And History in the North Sea World, C. AD 500-1250

Coinage and History in the North Sea World, c. AD 500-1250
This is a themed volume of 28 papers, written in honour of Marion Archibald. It considers the role of coinage in northern Europe from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the early thirteenth century. Although the focus of the volume is the coinage itself, the majority of the papers consider coinage in its historical and/or archaeological context. A recurrent theme of the volume is the movement of coinage across the English Channel and the North Sea and beyond. Particular areas of focus include the importation and use of money in early Anglo-Saxon England; movement, hoarding and secondary treatment of coinage during the Viking Age; and monetary contacts between England and her neighbours under the Normans and Angevins. The papers in this book provide an important range of perspectives in current numismatic research, and will provide a valuable resource for scholars in a variety of disciplines with interests in the economy and society in northern Europe, c. 500-1250.

Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles: Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Part IV
The rich collections of the Hermitage Museum include a remarkable series of Norman and later medieval British coins. Unlike the Hermitage's Anglo-Saxon coins which are mainly from Russian finds, the coins in this volume come from three major private collectors of the nineteenth century, Reichel, Stroganov and Plushkin, who purchased internationally. Thus they include some 60 coins of William I that were purchased in London at the Brumell sale of 1850 and derive from the 1833 hoard from Beauworth, Sussex. For the later middle ages the collection is particularly rich in gold coinage. Virtually all of the 493 coins are illustrated for the first time. They will be a valuable source for medieval numismatists and for those interested in the history of the Hermitage and its collections. This volume complements Hermitage Museum, Part I (SCBI 50, ISBN 0-19-726187-6). Parts II and III will follow.
Difference and Identity in Francia and Medieval France
Difference in medieval France was not solely a marker for social exclusion, provoking feelings of disgust and disaffection, but it could also create solidarity and sympathy among groups. Contributors to this volume address inclusion and exclusion from a variety of perspectives, ranging from ethnic and linguistic difference in Charlemagne's court, to lewd sculpture in Béarn, to prostitution and destitution in Paris. Arranged thematically, the sections progress from the discussion of tolerance and intolerance, through the clearly defined notion of foreignness, to the complex study of stranger identity in the medieval period. As a whole the volume presents a fresh, intriguing perspective on questions of exclusion and belonging in the medieval world.
I Am Fire and Air
Four Friends Four Powers Four Truths ONE: Always choose to care for and protect the least among us. We work to make the least become the greatest. TWO: Only do things that are principled; believe things that are true; preserve things that are precious. Being noble takes more courage than being loyal. THREE: There are very dark times when even basic human altruism must be an intentional act of rebellion. FOUR: What is done out of love is beyond good and evil. Four teenagers who will not be missed are held and exploited by a contractor for the Department of Defense. Their exceptional abilities are used to create advanced weapons. The secret and sealed facility where they live and work is invaded, triggering automatic defenses that kill everyone but them. The dark weapons they have produced are released. Survival and escape seem impossible.
Lothar I. (795–855) und das Frankenreich
Die vorliegende biographische Studie zu Lothar I. (795-855) schließt eine Lücke, die die Forschung bis dato offengelassen hat. Lothar, der vor allem wegen seiner Rebellionen gegen den Vater und der blutigen Auseinandersetzung mit seinen Brüdern um das Erbe meist negativ von der Nachwelt memoriert wurde, stand bisher kaum im Fokus der Forschung. Detailliert werden nun erstmals Leben und Herrschaft des Karolingers betrachtet. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit der bisherigen Forschung werden viele Erkenntnisse zu Lothar und seiner Zeit bestätigt und ergänzt, an mehreren Stellen jedoch auch revidiert. Durch die umfangreiche Sammlung der Belege, die Lothar betreffen, bietet die Arbeit zudem eine fundierte Grundlage für die weitere Betrachtung dieser "zentralen Gestalt" (Theodor Schieffer) seiner Zeit und des Frankenreiches insgesamt.
