What is the current thinking on the authorship of Norman Anonymous? My
interest is that he discusses the Second English Coronation Ordo,
whereas the Third Ordo is conventionally dated to c.1100. (It is found
in MSS of approximately that date.) For a variety of reasons, I can't
see how the Third Ordo can possibly have been used for Henry's
coronation, and thus would like it to have been devised for William
Rufus's coronation in 1087 (and thus be by Lanfranc rather than
Anselm.) If this is correct, NA can't have been well inormed on that
issue - and one wonders about his knowledge of other matters.
