Anglo-Danish Empire
Anglo-Danish Empire is an interdisciplinary handbook for the Danish conquest of England in 1016 and the subsequent reign of King Cnut the Great. Bringing together scholars from the fields of history, literature, archaeology, and manuscript studies, the volume offers comprehensive analysis of England’s shift from Anglo-Saxon to Danish rule. It follows the history of this complicated transition, from the closing years of the reign of King Æthelred II and the Anglo-Danish wars, to Cnut’s accession to the throne of England and his consolidation of power at home and abroad. Ruling from 1016 to 1035, Cnut drew England into a Scandinavian empire that stretched from Ireland to the Baltic. His reign rewrote the place of Denmark and England within Europe, altering the political and cultural landscapes of both countries for decades to come.
The Archaeology of Medieval Europe, Vol. 2
The two volumes of The Archaeology of Medieval Europe together comprise the first complete account of Medieval Archaeology across the continent. This ground-breaking set will enable readers to track the development of different cultures and regions over the 800 years that formed the Europe we have today. In addition to revealing the process of Europeanisation, within its shared intellectual and technical inheritance, the complete work provides an opportunity for demonstrating the differences that were inevitably present across the continent - from Iceland to Sicily and Portugal to Finland.
Urban Elite Culture
Medieval towns were vibrant and complex social environments where diverse groups and lifestyles encountered and influenced each other. Surprisingly, in the study of urban archaeology, the aristocracy, one of the leading and most influential groups in medieval society, has so far been neglected. This book puts "aristocracy in towns" on the archaeological research agenda. The interdisciplinary and comparative study explores the significance and representation of aristocrats and their interaction with civic elites in sea-trading towns of the southwestern Baltic from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Essentially, however, the analysis of urban elite culture leads to discussion of a much more fundamental issue: the informative value of material culture for the investigation of social conditions. The book provides new archaeological approaches to the study of social differentiation in towns, and contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of urban social structures.
Franciskanerklostret i Svendborg
Selvom det gamle kloster i Svendborg ikke længere er synligt i bybilledet, fortæller resultaterne fra mange års forskellige udgravninger en rig og spændende historie om franciskanermunkenes liv i byen. Klostret blev indviet i 1236, få år efter at de første tiggermunke var kommet vandrende barfodet til Danmark, på en forholdsvis beskeden grund ud mod kysten, området hvor Svendborg Station ligger i dag. Indvielsen markerede begyndelse på en periode på 300 år frem til reformationen med ud- og ombygninger af klosteret, der vidner om de gunstige forhold, munkene fandt i den driftige middelalderkøbstad. Få mennesker i Danmark ved så meget om vores middelalderklostre som arkæolog og forfatter Hans Krongaard Kristensen, der nu har skrevet en bog om klostret i Svendborg. Bogen samler de forskellige oplysninger om klostret og inddrager resultaterne fra de mange forskellige udgravninger, der er foretaget på stedet. Et stykke vaskeægte danmarkshistorie.
The Archaeology of Medieval Europe 1
The two volumes of The Archaeology of Medieval Europe will together comprise the first complete account of medieval archaeology across Europe. Archaeologists from academic institutions in fifteen countries are collaborating to produce these two books of sixteen thematic chapters each. In addition, every chapter will feature a number of 'box-texts', by specialist contributors, highlighting sites or themes of particular importance. The books will be comprehensively illustrated throughout, in both colour and b/w, including line drawings and specially commissioned maps. This ground-breaking set, which is divided chronologically into two (Vol. 1 extending from the Eighth to Twelfth Centuries AD, ...

The Danish Resources c. 1000-1550
This pioneering work presents the first comprehensive economic history of medieval Denmark. It puts data produced by more than a century of historical research into a new context and includes a multitude of information based on primary research. The book abounds in knowledge of natural and human resources, rural life, urban industries, tax and commodity trade. Arguing that the development of the Danish resources from the eleventh to the middle of the fourteenth century cannot be viewed simply as a period of prosperity, and conversely that the Late Middle Ages were characterized as much by growth as by recession, the book places itself in an international historiographical controversy. The Danish Resources will become an indispensable standard work for students of Danish and north European medieval history.
Øm Kloster
Bogen skildrer klosteranlæggets bygningshistorie på baggrund af talrige arkæologiske undersøgelser gennem årene. Der er tale om en grundlæggende fremstilling, der kildekritisk samler de forskellige undersøgelsesresultater til en helhed.
Asmild Kirke og Kloster
På østsiden af Viborg Søndersø ligger en af Danmarks ældste kirkebygninger. Asmild Kirke er et hovedmonument i den tidlige danske arkitektur, og få kirker i landet har en så kompliceret bygningshistorie. I 350 år fungerede den som klosterkirke for et nonnekloster, og netop forbindelsen mellem kloster og kirke er et af emnerne i denne dybdegående gennemgang af bygningernes rige historie, der på trods af tidligere udgravninger og undersøgelser først er samlet i en udgivelse nu. Hans Krongaard Kristensen, født 1947, lektor emeritus ved Aarhus Universitet er uddannet som cand.mag. i historie og middelalderarkæologi. Han har skrevet en lang række artikler og bøger om byarkæologi og middelalderlige klostre – herunder hovedværket Klostre i det middelalderlige Danmark fra 2013. Asmild Kirke og Kloster er udgivet i samarbejde med Viborg Museum.
