As a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/humanities.exeter.ac.uk\/history\/staff\/roach\/\">Dr Levi Roach<\/a>\u2019s AHRC funded grant <a href=\"https:\/\/gtr.ukri.org\/projects?ref=AH%2FP01495X%2F1\">\u2018Forging Memory: Falsified Documents and Institutional History in Europe, c.970-1020\u2019<\/a>, a series of events will be held across the University, and the Cathedral and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk\/history-heritage\/library-archives\/\">Library &amp; Archives<\/a> exploring Exeter\u2019s genuine and fake medieval documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1060s, shortly before the Norman Conquest, the canons at Exeter Cathedral produced a series of fake royal charters. These forgeries claimed that King \u00c6thelstan of England (924-39) had granted the church multiple pieces of land along the Exe valley. These fakes tell us little about the reign of \u00c6thelstan, but they do provide a fascinating snapshot into the concerns of the eleventh-century cathedral community and its leader, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leofric_(bishop)\">Bishop Leofric<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medieval charters were created to record a transaction between two parties, such as a king and a church. As such, they capture the interests of both the donor and the recipient. In contrast, a fraudulent charter only represents the concerns of those who later forged it. Medieval forgeries can therefore provide us with a privileged view into the thoughts and concerns of the clerics who produced them. In the case of Exeter Cathedral, the forgeries in the name of \u00c6thelstan were created to try and enhance the church\u2019s properties: none of the lands \u2018\u00c6thelstan\u2019 supposedly granted in the charters were held by the Cathedral in the eleventh-century. Through these forgeries, the canons tried to provide proof of their ancient right to things which did not belong to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"1420\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An Anglo-Saxon forged charter at Exeter Cathedral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1421\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-2.jpg 592w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2019\/05\/England-2-173x300.jpg 173w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">King Aethelstan (Originally from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Forgeries can tell us about more than just a community\u2019s nefarious ambitions, however. The ways they were composed reveal how medieval people thought about their past. Often, when completing fake documents, forgers would try and copy the style or handwriting of other ancient documents; they were aware that fakes had to look the part. In turn, the authorities invoked in forgeries reveal what parts of the past were most important to a community. At eleventh-century Exeter, it seems that King \u00c6thelstan was a foundational figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Including the \u00c6thelstan forgeries, Exeter Cathedral\u2019s Library &amp; Archives hold sixteen pre-Conquest charters \u2013 an exceptionally large number for a regional archive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between <strong>13-31 May 2019<\/strong> some of these charters, both forged and genuine, will be displayed in an exhibition held at Exeter Cathedral\u2019s Library &amp; Archives, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk\/news-events\/whats-on\/forging-past-medieval-exeter\/\"><strong><em>Forging the Past in Medieval Exeter<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. The exhibition explores how and why the canons at the eleventh-century cathedral produced forgeries, placing their production in the context of changes within the bishopric and Viking invasions. Also displayed throughout the exhibition is the so-called \u2018Golden Charter\u2019 \u2013 a charter issued by King \u00c6thelred \u2018the Unready\u2019 in 994 to the Bishop of Cornwall, in which the see\u2019s privileges are defined and secured. While the contents of this charter are significant in themselves, the charter\u2019s epithet comes from the fact that all its capital letters are covered in gold leaf. The charter is the oldest surviving golden single sheet charter from Anglo-Saxon England. This unique status led to the \u2018Golden Charter\u2019 being loaned to the British Library for the internationally acclaimed exhibition <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bl.uk\/events\/anglo-saxon-kingdoms\">Anglo Saxon Kingdoms: Art, Word, War<\/a>,<\/em> held from October 2018 to February 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running alongside the exhibition are a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk\/news-events\/whats-on\/public-tours-forging-past-medieval-exeter\/\"><strong>public tours<\/strong><\/a> on Saturday 25, Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 May. These tours provide a unique opportunity to see some of the Archive\u2019s Anglo-Saxon charters up close. They will explore the motivations of specific Exeter forgeries, as well as the dynamic life of these documents in the 1,000 years after they were written.
