Originally published in 1971, The Royal Demesne in English History
shows how Norman and Angevin kings were able to regard the whole of
their English kingdom as their royal demesne in the continental
medieval sense. The book argues that only through the later loss of
their continental possessions were they compelled to show interest
in creating special royal estates within their English kingdom, and
then only for the members of their families. The power of medieval
English kings as landowners provides a constant theme of the
highest political importance in the dispensation of royal
patronage, but not in the history of government finance. The book
discusses how in the later stages of the cumulative creation of the
royal family estates, did the idea gain currency in England, that
an endowed and inalienable royal landed estate ought to form the
basis of monarchical stability and financial solvency. This book
forms an interesting and detailed look at the development of the
medieval monarchy in terms of land and ownership.
