Research Abstract |
As a result of reexamining charters with achievements of archeological investigation taken into consideration, I clarified the formation of the economic network linking the city of Worcester and surrounding rural villages, which was accompanied by the urban development from the 10th century onward. At the same time, it has turned out, through examinations of chirographs that began to emerge in the 9th century, that human ties mediated by friendship, regional bonds etc. played important social roles. On the basis of these studies, I proposed that the Anglo-Saxon society should be considered in terms of the notion "local network" that involves dynamic human relations and exchanges of goods. This view stands in sharp contrast to but complements the prevailing view of the early medieval period where it is characterized only as the formative period of the feudalism and the manorial system.
