章节摘录

版权页：   插图：   A dispute between Charlemagne and Offa in 789 reveals that Englishmerchants were habitually using Frankish ports: England and Franciawere part of a growing world of international commerce. For nearly acentury, in fact, trading centres had been developing throughoutnorthern Europe. This was the age of the -wits, a remarkable series ofinternational emporia which appeared around 7oo on the coasts ofnorth-west Europe and of southern and eastern England. Each of themajor English kingdoms seems to have had its -wic: Southampton(Hamwic) for Wessex, Ipswich for East Anglia, York (Eoforwic) forNorthumbria, perhaps Sandwich for Kent. It now seems likely that thebiggest of them all was London (Lundenwic), called by Bede 'anemporium of many peoples coming by land and sea', which lay not inthe walled city but westwards around the Strand and Covent Garden.Excavation on all these sites has revealed intensive settlement and craftproduction. If primarily they were entrepots for foreign traders, it isbecoming increasingly apparent that they developed commercialhinterlands extending far inland. While our sources do not allow anyprecise measure of economic growth, it is clear that the internal as wellas the overseas economy of England was being transformed in the ageof Ethelbald and Offa. The Church The eighth and early ninth centuries were a rather unsettled time for theEnglish Church. Lay foundation and patronage brought its ownproblems, as aristocrats eager to enjoy the tenurial and tax advantagesof 'bookland' (land held by written charter, hithero a purelyecclesiastical form of tenure) built monasteries on their estates. Someof these, complained an outraged Bede, were little more than 'fronts'for tax evasion, and while it may be wrong to take this literally there canbe little doubt that as the monastic culture proliferated through laysociety, there was a decline from the highest late seventh-centurystandards.
