Conquest, anarchy, and lordship : Yorkshire, 1066-1154

Focussing on Yorkshire, by far the largest English county, this book examines three of the most important themes in the period described by Sir Frank Stenton as 'the first century of English feudalism': the Norman conquest, the anarchy of Stephen's reign and the nature of lordship and land tenure. In each case the book offers a strong challenge to dominant interpretations, and seeks to alter in significant ways our conception of Anglo-Norman politics and government
