Notes:

I 851 kom de først danske og norske vikingene til England, de okkuperte og ødela det som var igjen av London etter romerne. I 886 tok Alfred tilbake London fra de norske og danske vikingene og bygde byen opp til å bli den største byen i kongerike , større enn hovedstaden som da var Westminster, Han overtok etter halv broren Ethelred den I Alfred (849-899), King of Wessex (871-899), referred to as Alfred the Great by English historians from the 16th century onward. This epithet reflects his achievement in saving Wessex from conquest by Viking Danish armies, in preparing the way fo r the creation of the kingdom of England by his successors, and in directing a policy to revive Christian learning in Wessex. Born in Wantage, Alfred was the youngest and apparently the favourite son of Ethelwulf, King of the West Saxons (839-854) by his first wife Osburh. As a very young boy, he accompanied his father to Rome in 853 and again in 854, and was accompanie d by Charles the Bald, King of the Franks, on the return journey in 856. The successive deaths of his three elder brothers between 860 and 871 could hardly have been foreseen. Within a month of his accession, however, he faced a Viking army at Wil ton in 871 and a further invasion took place between 875 and 877. On both occasions Alfred was in no position to decisively defeat the Danes and instead bought them off. A Viking surprise attack in January 878 on Alfred at Chippenham probably had the aim of capturing the king and annexing Wessex. His escape and the desperate period during which he was a fugitive is the context for several famous stories. He raise d an army and in May, at Edington, Wiltshire, he defeated and shortly afterwards obtained the submission of the invaders. This was sealed by the baptism of their king, and the Treaty of Wedmore which defined their territory in eastern England (th e Danelaw). In 886 Alfred took control of London and has been credited with creating a network of defensive centres for his kingdom known as burhs (boroughs), many of which were developed as fortified towns. Some burhs, as in the cases of Londo n and Winchester, were Roman towns whose stone walls still survived, but most were new foundations initially defended by timber palisades and ditches. Thirty of these burhs are listed in a document, the Burghal Hidage, and their existence help s to explain Alfred's success in dealing with fresh Viking invasions in the 890s. His reorganization of military service, so that half of his home guard (the fyrd) was farming, when the other half was in the field against invaders, and his creatio n of a fleet to meet the Vikings on equal terms, were other elements of the same policy. Alfred took the responsibilities of a Christian ruler seriously and the spiritual welfare of his subjects was as important to him as their protection from conquest by Scandinavian pagans. He persuaded scholars to join him from the neighbouring Mer cian kingdom of the west Midlands (Werferth, Plegmund, and Æthelstan), from the Welsh (Asser from St David's), and from France (Grimbald and John). He prepared a law code and with the aid of these scholars he translated a series of religious an d philosophical texts from Latin into English to make them more widely available. His translation of Pastoral Care by Pope Gregory I is the most famous of these and he was still working at this self-imposed task when he died. An enlightened yet di sciplined ruler, he had a clear vision that his kingdom needed a literate and educated clergy as well as warriors and well-maintained defences. As a result, more is known about Alfred than any other Anglo-Saxon king and the creation at Wincheste r of the historical record called the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, together with Asser's Life of King Alfred, explains why many later historians came to regard him as a great, even model, king.

Athelstan (895-939), king of Wessex (924-939), and the first monarch to take the title of king of England. The grandson of King Alfred, he was crowned at Kingston-upon-Thames and seems to have possessed both great ambition and talent. It is suppos ed that his design was to unite, under his personal rule, the entire island of Britain. On the death of his brother-in-law Sihtric (reigned about 921-926), king of Northumbria, Athelstan took possession of his dominions. The other kings of the isl and submitted to him, in some instances voluntarily, and he styled himself Rex totius Britanniae (King of all Britain). A league, composed of Welsh, Scottish, and Danish allies, was formed against him. A fierce and decisive battle was fought (937 ) at Brunanburh, in which the allies were utterly defeated. After this the renown of Athelstan spread to the Continent. He exhibited a deep interest in the welfare of his people, improved the laws, and encouraged the translation of the Bible int o the vernacular.1

Notes:

Ethelred II, called The Unready (c. 968-1016), Anglo-Saxon King of England (978-1016), son of King Edgar and half-brother of Edward the Martyr. His reign was marked by bitter military struggles. After negotiating a treaty with Richard II, Duk e of Normandy (reigned about 996-1026), Ethelred married Richard's sister Emma. This marriage provided the basis for the subsequent Norman claim to the English throne. Although Ethelred paid tribute to the plundering Danes, Sweyn I (Forkbeard), Ki ng of Denmark, invaded England in 1013 and proclaimed himself king. In 1014 Ethelred fled to Normandy but returned a few months later upon Sweyn's death. Sweyn's son and successor, Canute II, invaded the country a year later and, following Ethelre d's death, became king of England. Ethelred's sobriquet, "The Unready", is a corruption of the Old English unraed, "bad counsel", which is a reference to his misfortunes.1

Den kong Olav det er snakk om her er Olav Kyrre. Skule ble værende ved hoffet hans. Han ble gift med Sigurd Syrs datterdatter Gudrun Nevstein. Han var sønn av den engelske Jarlen Toste Gudvinson som falt ved Standfordbridge i 1066. Skule ble Ola v Kyrres fremste rådgiver og fikk slektsgården REIN i Trøndelag av kongen.

Ikke lenge etter at kong Harald Hardråde var fallt ved Sandford bro, dro Skule over til England igjen og ba om å få utlevert liket av kongen. Det fikk han uten vansker og Harald Hårddåde ble begravet av biskop Øystein ved Elgseter kloster.

Aschehougs leksikon: Henrik (eng. Henry), engelske konger. Henrik 1, 1068-1135, sønn av Vilhelm Erobreren, etterfulgte 1100 sin bror Vilhelm Rufus. H.s indre styre var grunnleggende for Englands forvaltning og rettspleie. Han tok 1106 Normandie fra sin bror Robert.


Henry I (of England) (1068-1135), third Norman King of England (1100-1135), fourth son of William the Conqueror. Henry was born in Selby. Because his father, who died in 1087, left him no land, Henry made several unsuccessful attempts to gain terr itories on the Continent. On the death of his brother William II in 1100, Henry took advantage of the absence of another brother-Robert, who had a prior claim to the throne-to seize the royal treasury and have himself crowned King at Westminster . Henry subsequently secured his position with the nobles and with the Church by issuing a charter of liberties that acknowledged the feudal rights of the nobles and the rights of the Church. In 1101 Robert, who was Duke of Normandy, invaded Engla nd, but Henry persuaded him to withdraw by promising him a pension and military aid on the Continent. In 1102 Henry put down a revolt of nobles, who subsequently took refuge in Normandy, where they were aided by Robert. By defeating Robert at Tinc hebray, France, in 1106, Henry won Normandy. During the rest of his reign, however, he constantly had to put down uprisings that threatened his rule in Normandy. The conflict between Henry and Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, over the questio n of lay investiture (the appointment of Church officials by the king), was settled in 1107 by a compromise that left the king with substantial control in the matter. Because he had no surviving male heir, Henry was forced to designate his daughter Matilda as his heiress. After his death on December 1, 1135, at Lyons-la-Fôret, Normandy, however, Henry's nephew, Stephen of Blois, usurped the throne, plunging th e country into a protracted civil war that ended only with the accession of Matilda's son, as Henry II in 1154.1

Matilda (1102-1167), wife of Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, and claimant to the English throne, the only daughter of Henry I. In 1114 Matilda (also known as Maud) married Henry V. who died in 1125; and in 1128 wed Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou . After her brother William's death on the White Ship in 1120, her father had compelled the barons to accept her as his heir, but they had stipulated that she should not marry outside England without their consent. Her son Henry was only 2 when th e king died in 1135, and a coup brought Stephen, the son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela, to the throne, supported by the Church and a majority of barons. Matilda's half-brother Robert of Gloucester persuaded her to fight. In 1141, afte r Stephen was captured at Lincoln, she was elected "Lady of the English" by a clerical council in Winchester, and moved to London. But her actions, and demands for money, caused the citizens to chase her away to Oxford before she could be crowned . Her army was routed at Winchester. In 1142 she escaped from Oxford Castle over the frozen River Thames. Her position was now weak, and in 1148 she fled to Normandy, from where she exercised considerable influence on her son, later Henry II. Sh e died near Rouen on September 10, 1167.1
