Abstract

The charter now known as Sawyer 1211 contains a detailed account of an intergenerational property dispute between Queen Eadgifu and her rival Goda, concerning the possession of two Kentish estates. Typically, the charter has either been understood as evidence of dispute settlement or to establish facts about Eadgifu that are otherwise unattested. This article argues that Sawyer 1211 has further value when approached as a narrative which drew upon Eadgifu’s memories and oral testimony. Read in this way, it reveals a (self-)representation of her legal agency that has important implications for the understanding of early English queenship.

十世纪英国不断变化的女王形象：以《冷却》中的肯特的伊德基夫为例的修辞和（自我）表现

现在被称为Sawyer 1211的宪章详细描述了伊德吉夫女王和她的竞争对手戈达之间的代际财产纠纷，涉及两处肯特庄园的所有权。通常情况下，章程要么被理解为争端解决的证据，要么被认为是关于Eadgifu的事实，否则这些事实是未经检验的。本文认为，Sawyer 1211作为一种借鉴了Eadgifu的记忆和口头证词的叙事，具有进一步的价值。通过这种方式阅读，它揭示了她的法律机构的（自我）代表，这对理解早期英语女王具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Early Medieval Europe provides an indispensable source of information and debate on the history of Europe from the later Roman Empire to the eleventh century. The journal is a thoroughly interdisciplinary forum, encouraging the discussion of archaeology, numismatics, palaeography, diplomatic, literature, onomastics, art history, linguistics and epigraphy, as well as more traditional historical approaches. It covers Europe in its entirety, including material on Iceland, Ireland, the British Isles, Scandinavia and Continental Europe (both west and east).
