The effects of Anglo-Norman lordship upon the landscape of post-Conquest Monmouthshire

Connors, Owain James January 2013 (has links)
This thesis examines the effects the imposition of Anglo-Norman lordship, following the Anglo-Norman expansion into Wales in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, had upon the landscape of the Welsh border region. In order to achieve this aim this project makes extensive use of digital Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in order to produce a detailed county-wide study of the landscape of post-Conquest Monmouthshire as well as comprehensive case studies of individual Anglo-Norman lordships contained within the boundaries of the county. This thesis also aims to locate its findings within important current debates in historic archaeology about the effects of medieval lordship upon the landscape, on the roles of the physical environment and human agency in the forming of the historic landscape, on the wider role of castles as lordship centres, beyond simple military functionality.

Le Vieux-Gallois

Falileyev, Alexandre I. January 2008 (has links)
Alexander I. Falilejevs Edition altwalisischer/altkymrischer Texte bietet eine erstmalige Zu-sammenstellung sämtlicher erhaltener Textzeugnisse dieser inselkeltischen Sprache. Sie datieren in die Zeit vor dem Jahr 1000 n.Chr. zurück. Jeder Text ist mit einem Glossar und einem ausführlichen linguistischen Kommentar versehen. Dieser Kommentar sowie die Einleitung liefern einen kompletten Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Wissensstand auf dem Gebiet des Altwalisischen. Der systematische Teil des Buches ordnet die linguistischen Formen (Phono-logie, Morphologie, Syntax) zu einem Abriß der altwalisischen Grammatik. Yves Le Berres Übersetzung der russischen Vorlage (Древневаллийский язык (Drevnevalliskiy yazyk), Moskau 2002) ins Französische ermöglicht der Forschung erstmalig einen Zugang zum Alt-walisischen in einer westeuropäischen Sprache. Das Altwalisische ist nicht nur für das Verständnis der anderen älteren inselkeltischen Spra-chen wichtig (Irisch, Bretonisch und Kornisch), sondern auch für die Entstehungsgeschichte des Englischen. Das Altwalisische war die erste Kontaktsprache der Sprecher des sich heraus-bildenden mittelalterlichen Englischen. / This book offers, for the first time, a complete collection of the textual documents known so far in the Old Welsh language. Dr. Alexander I. Falileyev’s edition of these documents is ac-companied by a running linguistic commentary as well as a glossary. The grammatical section of the book orders all the linguistic evidence found in these texts in a systematic form. Both, the textual evidence and the linguistic analysis allow a complete picture of the present state of the research on the Old Welsh language. Dr. Falileyev’s book originally appeared in Moscow in 2002 (Древневаллийский язык (Drevnevalliskiy yazyk)). It was updated by the author in 2007 and translated by Prof. Yves Le Berre (Brest) into French, so as to make this important work accessible to scholars not versed in the Russian language. The Old Welsh language is not only important for a wider understanding of the evidence of the other medieval Insular Celtic languages (Irish, Breton and Cornish), but also for the his-tory of English, as Old Welsh was the first language that speakers of nascent English were in contact with.
