The Norman Conquest
Exploring the successful Norman invasion of England in 1066, this concise and readable book focuses especially on the often dramatic and enduring changes wrought by William the Conqueror and his followers. From the perspective of a modern social historian, Hugh M. Thomas considers the conquest's wide-ranging impact by taking a fresh look at such traditional themes as the influence of battles and great men on history and assessing how far the shift in ruling dynasty and noble elites affected broader aspects of English history. The author sets the stage by describing English society before the Norman Conquest and recounting the dramatic story of the conquest, including the climactic Battle of ...
Conquest and Colonisation
1066 is still one of the most memorable dates in British history. In this accessible text, Brian Golding explores the background to the Norman invasion, the process of colonisation, and the impact of the Normans on English society. Thoroughly revised and updated in light of the latest scholarship, the Second Edition of this established text features entirely new sections on: - The colonisation of towns - women and the Conquest - The impact of the Conquest on the peasantry. Ideal for students, scholars and general readers alike, Conquest and Colonisation is an essential introduction to this pivotal period in British history.
The Normans and the Norman Conquest
Classic work assessing the impact of the Norman Conquest in European context.
The English and the Normans
Since the Anglo-Norman period itself, the relations beween the English and the Normans have formed a subject of lively debate. For most of that time, however, complacency about the inevitability of assimilation and of the Anglicization of Normans after 1066 has ruled. This book first challenges that complacency, then goes on to provide the fullest explanation yet for why the two peoples merged and the Normans became English. Drawing on anthropological theory, the latest scholarship on Anglo-Norman England, and sources ranging from charters and legal documents to saints' lives and romances, it provides a complex exploration of ethnic relations on the levels of personal interaction, cultural assimilation, and the construction of identity. As a result, the work provides an important case study in pre-modern ethnic relations that combines both old and new approaches, and sheds new light on some of the most important developments in English history.
Normandy Before 1066
This is a major work - the most substantial modern treatment (in English or French) of the early history of Normandy, before Duke William's conquest of England in 1066. The Normans were accepted across Europe as an extraordinary and significant phenomenon in their own day - chroniclers registered their land-hungry aggression, their duplicity and their spectacular success in a variety of geographical arenas, and the Normans themselves revelled in their notoriety. They still, necessarily, loom large in medieval history courses today. They are central to the history of Britain: they became the rulers of Sicily and Southern Italy: they provided much of the leadership of the First Crusade: as the...
