After the Norman conquest of 1066, the English lands gradually lost
their Saxon character and became much more similar to continental
Europe than previously; feudalism was brought to the British Isles
by the Normans, together with a new model of centralized monarchy,
thus changing the administrative and social structures of England
forever. After a few decades, however, the new royal family
initiated by William the Conqueror disappeared due to the lack of
direct heirs and thus the Kingdom of England entered a chaotic
phase characterised by civil conflicts, as well as by the search
for a new royal house that could assume control over the turbulent
English lands. This historical period, known as 'The Anarchy',
began in 1135 and ended only in 1154, when the first Plantagenet
was crowned as monarch of the English realm. The new royal family
would have kept power over its kingdom for more than three
centuries, until the outbreak of the War of the Roses. During this
long period, the Plantagenet kings fought a series of conflicts,
which can be grouped into three main categories: wars fought
against the French monarchy in continental Europe, wars fought in
the British Isles against the 'Celtic nations' (Wales, Scotland and
Ireland) and civil conflicts fought in England against rebel
aristocrats. This book pays special attention to the wars fought by
England against Wales, Scotland and Ireland; at the same time, it
provides a detailed overview of the 'minor' conflicts that saw the
Plantagenet monarchs campaigning in France. This book will cover
the history, organization and equipment of the English armies that
fought the many wars of the early Plantagenet period.
