| Research Abstract |
This research focused on recent studies of assemblies in order to reexamine the structure of the society of Anglo-Saxon England from the viewpoint of the human network. As a result, it is confirmed not only that the bond between the royal assembly in the late state and local assemblies was important but also that interpersonal bonds among individuals played a vital role. At the same time, it is argued that the previous 'top-down' explanation is insufficient to describe the relationship between local communities and the royal authority and that it requires explanation in terms of 'consensual rulership' that was realized through persuasion, negotiation and so on. On the basis of the literature review above, this study pointed out the possibility that the multi-dimensional social structure in which not only the royal authority, the elite and kinship but also the lordship and local societies were intertwined can be grasped by reproducing personal relationships that obtained in assemblies.
