This book provides the first rounded account of the new and highly influential ruling elite of England in the century after the Norman conquest of 1066, in which the old English aristocracy was swept aside. It focuses on four main themes: land (the transfer of land to the aristocracy, and the organization of the great estates), power (the nature of power and its vitality), politics (the aims and strategies of the nobles), and society (kinship, the role of women, and piety).

Product Information
This book provides the first rounded account of the new ruling elite of England in the century after 1066. It deals with the revolution in landholding by which the old English aristocracy was swept aside, and the nature of aristocratic power, as demonstrated by the control of castles and knights, and lordship over men and land. The book stresses the vitality of aristocratic power throughout the period, particularly during the civil war under King Stephen. The part played by kinship and family in building up and extending influence are emphasised, and a separate chapter is devoted to the crucial role played by women in the transmission of land. The role of aristocratic benefactors in the wave of generosity which brought great wealth to the church is also examined and, finally, the extent to which the newcomers identified themselves with the country they had conquered.Product Identifiers

Longer term and more domestic view of the Norman Invasion and Aftermath
compelling research as root and branch view of feudal society and the fundamental Norman takeover of Anglo-Saxon England and the administration of new boroughs from Hundreds, and the lower levels of the Norman hierarchy that oversaw this. Deeper and more domestic view of the years following the conquest and The Anarchy showing that this process was initiated in 20 years with the Anglo Saxon nobility all but removed from land ownership after various rebellions but then just how far reaching the new Norman immigration was and the role of the church in supporting thisVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
