Im Jahre 1101 kehrt Sir Geoffrey Mappestone aus Jerusalem nach England zurück. Doch auch hier kann er sich nicht von den Gräueln des Kreuzzuges erholen. Niemand hat mit seiner Rückkehr gerechnet, und so heißt guy ihn nicht eben herzlich willkommen. Zudem liegt sein Vater im Sterben.
In speedy allen ökonomisch hoch entwickelten Ländern ist die Gewaltkriminalität in der zweiten Hälfte des vorigen Jahrhunderts deutlich angestiegen - in Umkehrung eines langfristig rückläufigen developments individueller (außerstaatlicher) Gewaltanwendung seit Beginn der Neuzeit. Die Autoren entwickeln hierfür einen Erklärungsansatz, der vor allem von Norbert Elias' Zivilisationstheorie und Emile Durkheims Gesellschaftstheorie inspiriert worden ist.

Whether this reflects an early aspiration on the new king’s part to unify greater Wessex and all Mercia into a single realm, or rather an ‘improvement’ of the form found in the earlier version of the text, normalizing his royal style to the one used consistently from 927, onwards, is less clear. 802–939’, PhD thesis, University of Sheffield, 2007, 339. 66 For the charters of ‘Æthelstan A’ see ch. 3. Apparently authentic ‘Æthelstan A’ charters that describe the king as rex Anglorum are: S 399–400, 403, 405, 407, 412–13, 416, 418a, 418–19, 422–3.
31 Dealings with his neighbours, especially in Britain with the kingdom of Northumbria and with Frankia across the Channel, preoccupied Æthelstan at the start of his reign, as did the necessity to make suitable provision for the future of the remarkably large number of sisters and half-sisters with whom his father had thought fit to provide him. Just five months after his coronation, in January 926, Æthelstan arranged for his only known full sister to marry Sihtric, the Danish king in York. They met to contract the marriage at the Mercian capital of Tamworth, deep in Æthelstan’s realm, not on a border, where treaties were more conventionally negotiated.
