De obsessione Dunelmi
''De obsessione Dunelmi'' ("On the siege of Durham"),〔In full ''De obsessione Dunelmi et de probitate Uhtredi comitis, et de comitibus qui ei successerunt'' ("On the siege of Durham, and the character of Earl Uhtred, and the earls who succeeded him"); Translated by Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', p. 1.〕 is a historical work written in the north of England during the Anglo-Norman period, almost certainly at Durham, and probably in either the late 11th- or early 12th-century.
==Provenance==
The text survives in only one manuscript, Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 139.〔Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', p. 5.〕 In its surviving form, it was written down between 1161 and 1167.〔Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', pp. 5, 7.〕 The manuscript was at Sawley Abbey, Lancashire by the late 12th century. Derek Baker in 1975 argued that it was probably compiled at Fountains Abbey.〔Meehan, "Siege of Durham", p. 1, n. 6; Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', pp. 5—6.〕 M. R. James had argued in 1912 that the manuscript was compiled at Hexham, Northumberland.〔See Meehan, "Siege of Durham", p. 1, n. 3, for details.〕 Theodor Mommsen in 1898, Peter Hunter Blair in 1963 and David Dumville in 1974 (repeated in 1990) argued that the compilation took place at Sawley.〔Blair, "Some observations"; Dumville, ''Histories and Pseudo-Histories'', ch. 8, corresponding to Dumville, "Corpus Christi 'Nennius", pp. 369—80; Mommsen, ''MGH'', xiii, p. 124; see Meehan, "Siege of Durham", p. 1, ns. 4—6.〕
It is almost certain, however, that the text predates its transcription into the Cambridge MS. Bernard Meehan argued that the bulk of the text was composed between 1073 and 1076, before the execution of Earl Waltheof (1076) but after the date of a massacre at Settrington (1073).〔Meehan, ""Siege of Durham", pp. 18—9.〕 This is largely on the basis that Waltheof's death goes unrelated, an argument that Morris attacked by pointing out that such things were not important for this particular text, noting other great figures mentioned whose deaths also go unrelated.〔 Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', pp. 7—8.〕 Morris, for a variety of reasons, favoured a date inside the first two decades of the 12th-century, though he conceded that a date in the 1070s was a possibility.〔Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', p. 10.〕
The source which resembles ''De obsessione Dunelmi'' most is a letter, immediately preceding ''De obsessione Dunhelmi'' in the manuscript, written by Symeon of Durham to Hugh, Dean of York Cathedral.〔Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', p. 9.〕 Both sources open with similar dating clauses and share a similar style, and it is possible that ''De obsessione Dunelmi'' was originally a letter too.〔 A 16th-century incipit in the manuscript attributes the work to Symeon of Durham, though this is too late to be reliable.〔Morris, ''Marriage and Murder'', pp. 9—10.〕 It is of however of note that Dean Hugh, when he resigned his deanship in 1135, retired to Fountains Abbey, supposedly taking with him a collection of books.〔
