This book examines the processes by which effective royal
government was restored in England following the civil war of
Stephen's reign. It questions the traditional view that Stephen
presided over 'anarchy', arguing instead that the king and his
rivals sought to maintain the administrative traditions of Henry I,
leaving foundations for a restoration of order once the war was
over. The period from 1153 to 1162, spanning the last months of
Stephen's reign and the early years of Henry II's, is seen as one
primarily of 'restoration' when concerted efforts were made to
recover royal lands, rights and revenues lost since 1135.
Thereafter 'restoration' gave way to 'reform': although the
administrative advances of 1166 have been seen as a watershed in
Henry II's reign, the financial and judicial measures of 1163-65
were sufficiently important for this, also, to be regarded as a
transitional phase in his government of England.
