Territoriality and the Early Medieval Landscape: The Countryside of the East Saxon Kingdom Rippon Stephen
An exploration of small early folk communities prior to the eleventh century, showing their development and sophistication.All communities have a strong sense of identity with the area in which they live, which for England in the early medieval period manifested itself in a series of territorial entities, ranging from large kingdoms down to small districts known as pagi or regiones.
