e migration of the Normans across Europe is a well-known and much written about subject. Originating in the principality of Normandy that took its name from the ‘men of the north’ who came from Scandinavia to settle on the French coast from the ninth century onwards, the Normans then established themselves during the eleventh century in two main areas some , miles apart. In the Mediterranean we nd them in southern Italy and Sicily, as well as Antioch, while in north-western Europe they famously crossed the Channel and settled in England, expanding onwards into Scotland, Wales, and ultimately Ireland. e place of the Normans in European history remains a major topic of interest to historians, but one on which current research is too often segmented into work on either the northern European or the southern European experiences. In spite of the huge volume of publications in several languages on a multitude of specic subjects, it is a topic on which single-authored pan-European treatments have nowadays become relatively uncommon.Although the approach of considering the Norman expansion of the eleventh and twelfth centuries as a single unied movement, epitomized in English by the great pioneering publications of Charles Homer Haskins of ? (e Normans in European History) and David Douglas of ?
? and ??
(e Norman Achievement and e Norman Fate), has long been abandoned, there remain clear and compelling reasons for arguing that some sort of unifying dynamic did exist, albeit in the midst of wider processes of European change that were shaped by local, regional and trans-national circumstances. With this in mind, two collaborative international conferences were held at the Centro Europeo di Studi Normanni at Ariano Irpino (– September ) and Emmanuel College, Cambridge (– March ). In organizing the two conferences on which this book is based, its three editors, along with the co-organizer Professor Ortensio Zecchino, decided that discussion of new approaches to the history of the Normans would be greatly facilitated by holding a dialogue between colleagues from northern and southern Europe. A selection of the contributions has been brought together here, centred on the theme of cultural transmission.Aware of how much the contributions are the product of exciting research in progress, the editors’ ultimate hope is that this volume will stimulate further thought on how research can be shaped into ongoing discussions of this major movement in European and world history. By deliberately bringing together scholars with different approaches and interests, they have aimed to persuade others to take the interdisciplinary approaches that are indispensable to understanding the subject of the Normans in the twenty-rst century.
