Since the Anglo-Norman period itself, the relations beween the
English and the Normans have formed a subject of lively debate. For
most of that time, however, complacency about the inevitability of
assimilation and of the Anglicization of Normans after 1066 has
ruled. This book first challenges that complacency, then goes on to
provide the fullest explanation yet for why the two peoples merged
and the Normans became English. Drawing on anthropological theory,
the latest scholarship on Anglo-Norman England, and sources ranging
from charters and legal documents to saints' lives and romances, it
provides a complex exploration of ethnic relations on the levels of
personal interaction, cultural assimilation, and the construction
of identity. As a result, the work provides an important case study
in pre-modern ethnic relations that combines both old and new
approaches, and sheds new light on some of the most important
developments in English history.
