Family, commerce, and religion in London and Cologne : Anglo-German emigrants, c. 1000-c. 1300 / Anglo-German emigrants, c. 1000-c. 1300 Joseph P. Huffman. - Cambridge, U.K. ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 1998. - 1 online resource (xvi, 273 pages) : illustrations, maps. - Cambridge studies in medieval life and thought ; 4th ser., 39 . - Cambridge studies in medieval life and thought ; 4th ser., 39. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 244-268) and index.
The historical background: Anglo-German commercial foundations and the city of Cologne. The London guildhall and Cologne's rise to dominance in the eleventh and twelfth centuries ; The rise of the Hansa towns and the decline of Cologne's dominance in the thirteenth century ; Anglo-German currency exchange: Cologne and English sterling ; Schreinsbücher manuscript entries -- Anglo-Cologne family, property, and inheritance ties. The formation of individual and family identity in medieval Cologne: property and surnames ; Anglicus in Colonia: the social, economic, and legal status of the English in Cologne during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries ; Cologne families with English connections: the Zudendorps ; Cologners in England -- Anglo-German religious and cultural life. Confraternities, expatriate monks, pious legends, and pilgrims ; Clerics, canon law, crusaders, and culture ; Conclusion: A reappraisal of the Anglo-German nexus ; The archbishops of Cologne.
This book explores the full range of social, economic, religious and cultural contacts between England and the German city of Cologne during the central Middle Ages, c.1000 to c.1300. A wealth of original archive material reveals an extensive network of English and German emigrants who were surprisingly successful in achieving assimilation into their new homeland. From beguines to English sterling, pilgrims to emigrants, crusaders and merchants to teachers, there existed a complex world of Anglo-German associations. The book therefore maintains the thesis that the Anglo-German nexus should be given a higher profile in current historiography on the Middle Ages, and that the book should stand as a contribution towards the reconfiguration of medieval history away from the boundaries created by modern political and intellectual categories. It will also encourage historians to reconsider their basic assumptions about what constituted 'medieval Europe'.
