Abstract
Within a few decades of the first Viking conquests of England, strong currency systems developed in Viking controlled parts of England. This preceded minting and the use of coins as currency in other Viking territories by about one hundred years. Herein, a case is made that the early development of currency in Anglo-Viking England is poorly explained by secular minting by Viking authorities but is well explained by ecclesiastical minting. The implications of ecclesiastical minting are discussed in the context of other sources of information on the church in early Anglo-Viking England.
