This book provides a selection from the abundant source material
generated by the Normans and the peoples they conquered. As this
study demonstrates, few other medieval peoples generated historical
writing of such quantity and quality. Van Houts takes a wide
European perspective on the Normans, assessing and explaining their
origin, the Norman expansion and their political and social
organisation in the period between c. 900 to c. 1150. The Normans
in Europe explores such areas as: the process of assimilation
between Scandinavians and Franks and the emergence of Normandy; the
internal organisation of the prinicpality with a variety of source
materials from chronicles, miracle stories and charters; the roles
of women and children in Norman society; the main chronicle sources
for the history of the Norman invasion and settlement in Britain;
the contacts between the Norman dukes and the territorial princes
of France, and the progress of the Normans amongst the settlers in
Southern Italy and elsewhere in the Mediterranean. -- .
