Introduction

The seventeenth Thirteenth Century England conference, held at Selwyn College, Cambridge in September 2017, explored England in Europe, and the essays in the present volume, the fruit of the conference, respond to its theme in a variety of ways, ranging over politics, religion and culture. Englands role in the politics of Europe was, of course, profoundly reshaped at the start of the thirteenth century by the disintegration of so much of the Angevin Empire. In hindsight, it is easy to view the reign of John as a watershed, marking the start of a turn towards a more insular focus in politics and society, especially when one thinks of the internal political crises of Henry IIIs reign and Edward Is attempts to subject Wales and Scotland to English rule. These essays complicate, in different ways, such an impression. For while some demonstrate the importance of ongoing political entanglements and memories of past connections, others examine how England was absorbed in trends that operated on a European, or at least a western European, scale. The ambitions and policies of both Henry III and Edward I did not stop at the English Channel, while in the other direction flowed ideas, clerics, ambassadors, refugees, mercenaries and occasionally threats.

Henry III himself looms in a number of the contributions as a king playing on the European stage, even though he was now forced back on Englands resources. Antonia Shacklocks essay shows one way in which the king sought to respond (imaginatively, but with limited eventual success) to his predicament by mobilizing Englands holy men, not only the well-known figure of Edward the Confessor but also a larger communion, including other saintly figures from the Anglo-Saxon past. As Henry looked to insular saints to bolster his standing, he was also importing foreign-born relatives and establishing them in England, and Shacklock shows how he sought to enlist his new men in patriotic devotions. In so doing, the king tried to respond to the problem posed by a baronage whose interests were becoming more Anglocentric and whose instincts put them at odds with the kings policies, including his penchant for introducing aliens to Englands court. Andrew Spencers essay explores the problem of Henrys alien relatives from a different angle, focusing on the role of the Queens continental kinsmen, the Savoyards, and adumbrating a subplot of factionalized court politics. Henry probably conceived of the integration of the Savoyards as a means to re-engineer the upper echelons of political society, and, given the familys transnational network, he also surely saw them as a valuable tool of diplomacy too. But this proved a high-risk strategy in which the risk did not pay off, for although the Savoyards were less disruptive of domestic politics than the next wave of alien entrants, the Lusignans, Spencer suggests ways in which the Queens relations were nonetheless storing up trouble for the king even at an earlier stage of his personal rule. Far from being Henrys instruments, they ended up manipulating the king, further undermining his political credibility in England and further afield.
