Book excerpt: The 2006 volume of the Haskins Society features another impressive array of academics addressing the period from Anglo-Saxon to Angevin. This latest volume of the Haskins Society Journal presents recent research on the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, Viking and Angevin worlds of the eleventh and twelfth centuries; topics range from a major reassessment of King Alfred [the last work finished by Patrick Wormald] and examinations of William the Conqueror, Thomas Beckett and Sybil of Jerusalem, to questions of legal testimony, military organization, western geographic knowledge in the middle ages, and more.
