The scholar's Irish script toppled a king's army and border
This episode explores the reign of Aldfrith of Northumbria, a scholar-king whose unique background and education shaped his rule. It delves into the complex political landscape of early medieval Britain and the surprising role a book played in the fate of a kingdom.
Person: Aldfrith of Northumbria
Date: December 14, 704 or 705
Location: Driffield, East Riding of Yorkshire
Reign: 19 years
- A monk on a windswept island traded eight hides of farmland for a manuscript with a king whose kingdom had just lost its army.
- Aldfrith, exiled for his love of learning, became king after his predecessor, Ecgfrith, died in battle at Nechtansmere in 685.
- Coins struck in Aldfrith's name featured Irish uncial script, reflecting his upbringing in the Irish-speaking world of Dál Riata.
- Aldfrith was the son of King Oswiu and an Irish woman named Fín, and was educated in the Irish monastic tradition.
- His half-brother, Ecgfrith, sent him to be educated in the church, a common solution for "surplus princes" in seventh-century kingdoms.
