In 2010, David Bates presented the Ford Lectures in British History
at the University of Oxford, and The Normans and Empire is the book
which was born from these lectures. It provides an interpretative
analysis of the history of the cross-Channel empire created by
William the Conqueror in 1066 to its end in 1204 when the duchy of
Normandy was conquered by the French king, Philip Augustus, the
so-called 'Loss of Normandy'. This volume emphasizes the
cross-Channel and Continental dimensions of the subject, and uses
modern approaches to suggest new interpretations. Bates proposes
that historians of the Normans can learn from the methods of social
scientists and historians of other periods of history - such as
making use of such tools as life-stories and biographies - and he
employs such methods to offer an interpretative history of the
Normans, as well as a broader history of England, the British
Isles, and Northern France in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
