Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cynewulf´s Christ: An Eighth Century English Epic In the year 1071 died Leofric, first Bishop of Exeter, sometime Chancellor of England, the friend and favourite of Edward the Confessor, a distinguished disciple of the Lotharingian schools. Contemporary accounts have come down to us describing the pomp which attended the bishop´s installation; how, in the presence of the chieftains of the realm, supported by the king on his right and by the noble Eadgitha on his left, he ascended his episcopal throne in the ancient minster of St. Mary and St. Peter the Apostle. The minster, when it came into his possession, had been despoiled of its lands and of nigh all its ecclesiastical appurtenances; ´of twenty-six estates which the pious king Athelstane had conferred upon it scarce one remained.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
