T he writing of a book on the sources and interpretations of Anglo-Saxon warfare is, in many ways, an exercise in extrapolation. Few extant sources from the Anglo-Saxon period deal specifically with the art of war. There is no known treatise equivalent to the work of the late Roman writer Vegetius, although it is known that his manuscript was copied in eleventh-century England. Nonetheless, the major historical sources, narrative chronicles, saints lives , charters, wills, laws, and, of course, poetry all reflect the important part that warfare played in the lives and preoccupations of later Anglo-Saxon society. To refer to a society at war, as this chapters title does, may overstate a point, but it is nonetheless a pertinent overstatement, for which a case study will be useful.
and the experience of warfare in the tenth century
While the following is not an unfamiliar case study, The manner in which the Chronicon records an account of English history as thelweard saw it provides some important insights to his own worldview and experience as an ealdorman (effectively a provincial governor) of the south-western provinces during the reigns of King Edgar the Peaceable (957/975), Edward the Martyr (9758) and thelred the Unready (9781016).
Such ealdormen especially thelweard occupy a curious position in the historiographical imagination. On the one hand, their administrative responsibilities figure large: the manner in which they and their contemporaries are recorded in the witness lists of Anglo-Saxon charters reminds us of the crucial role that courtly politics, often related to the assembly of the great and the good of the kingdom for participation in a campaign, played in the wider political development of the later Anglo-Saxon state.
