The long twelfth century heralded a fundamental transformation of monarchical power, which became increasingly law-based and institutionalised. Traditionally this modernisation of kingship, in conjunction with the ecclesiastical reform movement, has been seen as sounding the death knell for sacral kingship. Increasingly concerned with bureaucracy and the law, monarchs supposedly paid only lip service to the idea that they ruled in the image of God and the Old Testament rulers of Israel. The liturgical ceremony through which this typology was communicated, inauguration, had become a relic from a bygone age; it remained significant, but for its legally constitutive nature rather than for its liturgical content.   Through a groundbreaking comparative approach and an in-depth engagement with the historiographical traditions of the three realms, this book challenges the paradigm of the desacralisation of kingship and demonstrates the continued relevance of liturgical ceremonial, particularly at the moment of a king's accession to power. In integrating the study of male and female rites and by bringing together multiple source types, including liturgical texts, historical narratives, charter evidence and material culture, the author demonstrates that the resonances of liturgical ceremonial, and the biblical models for kingship and queenship it encompassed, continued to shape concepts of rulership in the high Middle Ages.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741654425873,"sku":"NGR9781903153987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52337915363601,"sku":"NLS9781903153987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52756013056273,"sku":"NIN9781903153987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1903153980.jpg?v=1751412552"},{"product_id":"st-peter-on-the-wall-book-johanna-dale-9781800084360","title":"St Peter-on-the-Wall","description":"\u003cb\u003eA detailed study of one of the oldest largely intact churches in England.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall, built on the ruins of a Roman fort, dates from the mid-seventh century and is one of the oldest largely intact churches in England. It stands in splendid isolation on the shoreline at the mouth of the Blackwater Estuary in Essex, where the land meets and interpenetrates with the sea and the sky. This book brings together contributors from across the arts, humanities, and social sciences to uncover the premodern contexts and modern resonances of this medieval building and its landscape setting. In analyzing the significance of the chapel and surrounding landscape over more than a thousand years, this collection additionally contributes to wider debates about the relationship between space and place, and particularly the interfaces between both medieval and modern cultures and also heritage and the natural environment. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49751474503953,"sku":"NGR9781800084360","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1800084366.jpg?v=1751026976"},{"product_id":"liturgy-literature-and-history-book-johanna-dale-9781836245681","title":"Liturgy, Literature, and History","description":"The centrality of the cult of saints to medieval Christianity is reflected in surviving liturgical, historical, literary and administrative texts, material culture and architecture. Too often, however, disciplinary boundaries mean these sources are studied in isolation from one another. This volume takes a multi-disciplinary approach to uncover both the mechanisms by which saints’ cults spread and also the manner in which veneration of the saints drove other forms of political, cultural and social expression. Focussed on the cult of Oswald of Northumbria in the high Middle Ages, this volume brings together historians, literary scholars, musicologists and art historians to explore the cult of saints through texts, objects, space, sound and the senses and particularly interrogates the influence of liturgy on society. Oswald’s cult spread far in time and space from its origins in seventh-century Northumbria, and the essays in this volume seek to understand how liturgical commemoration and celebration of Oswald in different times and places drove developments in cultural expression, initiating new styles in musical as well as visual and material art forms.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51618746695953,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51618746990865,"sku":"NGR9781836245681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1836245688.jpg?v=1761141311"},{"product_id":"inauguration-and-liturgical-kingship-in-the-long-twelfth-century-book-johanna-dale-9781903153840","title":"Inauguration and Liturgical Kingship in the Long Twelfth Century","description":"Offers a revisionist angle to the question of sacral kingship, showing the continued importance of liturgical ceremonial in the twelfth century and onward.
