One response to that letter survives, written by Torhthelm, bishop of the Middle Angles (737–64). The letter is written in an allusive style and borrows heavily from its main source, Pope Vitalian's letter to Oswiu, king of Northumbria. This essay offers a comprehensive study of Torhthelm's letter and provides new insights into the culture of letter‐writing in early medieval Mercia. The analysis also deepens our understanding of the relationship between that kingdom and the Continental mission during Æthelbald's reign. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Early Medieval Europe is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
