AEthelstan
Author: Sarah Foot
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300160372
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 487
Book Description
The powerful and innovative King AEthelstan reigned only briefly (924-939), yet his achievements during those eventful fifteen years changed the course of English history. He won spectacular military victories (most notably at Brunanburh), forged unprecedented political connections across Europe, and succeeded in creating the first unified kingdom of the English. To claim for him the title of "first English monarch" is no exaggeration.In this nuanced portrait of AEthelstan, Sarah Foot offers the first full account of the king ever written. She traces his life through the various spheres in which he lived and worked, beginning with the intimate context of his family, then extending outward to his unusual multiethnic royal court, the Church and his kingdom, the wars he conducted, and finally his death and legacy. Foot describes a sophisticated man who was not only a great military leader but also a worthy king. He governed brilliantly, developed creative ways to project his image as a ruler, and devised strategic marriage treaties and gift exchanges to cement alliances with the leading royal and ducal houses of Europe. AEthelstan's legacy, seen in the new light of this masterful biography, is inextricably connected to the very forging of England and early English identity.

The Lindisfarne Gospels
Author: Richard Gameson

ISBN: 9004337849
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Masterpiece of medieval manuscript production and decoration, its Latin text glossed throughout in Old English, the Lindisfarne Gospels is a vital witness to the book culture, art, and Christianity of the Anglo-Saxons and their interactions with Ireland, Italy, and the wider world.

Approaching the material from a series of new perspectives, the contributors shed new light on numerous aspects of this magnificent manuscript, its milieux, and its significance.

Unity of People and Personal Freedom
Author: Kanaev Ilya
Publisher: Kanaev Ilya
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
«Democracy» is one of the most recognizable and important ideas of modern humanity. The literal meaning of the word is «power of the people», but each principle can have different ways of implementation. Nowadays, democracy is understood in the narrow sense of majority rule almost worldwide. Such form of social organization is presented as an ideal of justice: it is asserted that this is the only way for satisfying human need for personal freedom. The concepts of democracy and freedom were intertwined, even somewhat identical in the modern world. Text task is to consider what «democracy» is, how to understand «personal freedom» and how the principle of «people governance» can be implemented in practice.

Title and Title Conflicts in respect of Intermediated Securities under English Law
Author: Wenwen Liang
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443852090
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
This book examines property issues in respect of intermediated securities under English law, namely title and title conflicts between a true owner and a purchaser. Intangible book entry securities held with an intermediary, often commingled with the holdings of other clients of the intermediary, often give rise to uncertainty in property rights in the securities of an investor under most legal systems, for example, whether property rights can be established and how title conflicts are dealt with. This book identifies the flexible framework of English property law for establishing property rights over commingled intangibles, in particular through trusts; establishes the policy of priority rules as of comparing the merits of rights and preferring a vested right of a true owner over a subsequent purchaser, particularly a vested right under fiduciary relations. The book works towards the conclusion that, given the general principle of English property law for vested rights, title conflicts may be tilted towards purchasers in a mild rather than a radical way, by introducing a good faith purchaser rule to intermediated securities or leaving it to judicial discretion where an estoppel might work in favour of a purchaser. This book is suitable for lawyers, officials and academics in the field of intermediated securities, as well as trust, property and financial regulation.
