Relationship between Sami and 'Norwegians' in the Far North in the Iron Age seems to have been reciprocal. Karoliussen, #IMC2014 #s523

The monastic life, where everyone should maintain the same level of holiness, is difficult for hagiographers. #IMC2014 #535

Monastic saints often add extra devotions or survive on less food to display their better holiness. #IMC2014 #535

Historians relied on the sagas to write the history of Norway. No written documents survive from before 11th century. Holt, #s523 #IMC2014

It made a nice story, fitted in well with how the saga authors saw their world, & how 19thC historians saw their state. Holt #s523 #IMC2014

It doesn't stand up to textual criticism (of course); we're probably never going to get to 'the truth'. Holt on Norway, #s523 #IMC2014

We need to get around this 'constructed past' if we want to understand what was going on in 'Norway' in the early MA. Holt, #s523 #IMC2014

Inconsistent records, difficult to 'find' family connections of nuns. Clerkenwell is better documented. #IMC2014 sess 526

Nuns had varied status-sister, widow, cousins-mainly from knightly class of Sussex, later urban recruitment was important. #IMC2014 sess 526
