Their original request was >for Carolingia Uncial hand for the calligraphy. You've got the name almost right. What you want is Carolingian (or Caroline) miniscule. Caroline is not an uncial script (for one thing, it's a miniscule script, which means it has upper and lower case letters (for the non-technical explanation)), but it does have a rounded aspect that shows that Uncial was an ancestor. That indeed would have been the script in use in Northern England during the late 11th century.

Go with a nice legible Carolingian uncial and forget about being exactly period. - -- johannes v.n. YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK - -- from an errata sheet correcting the U. S.
