Book excerpt: The current research aims to analyze and understand how the narratives of power around Anglo-Saxon bishops were created in monastic environments during the Early Middle Ages. As relevant political and cultural characters of their time, the episcopal representatives deeply influenced the religious landscape and shaped a distinctive native ethos. The importance of this investigation comes from the lack of direct specialised treatment this topic has have as an integrated matter, taking in account it’s tripartite essence: bishops, the monastic phenomena and the writing derived from the interaction of the first two components.
