Between the imperial coronation of Edgar in 973 and the death of
Henry II in 1189, English society was transformed. This lively and
wide-ranging study explores social and political change in England
across this period, and examines the reasons for such developments,
as well as the many continuities. By putting the events of 1066
firmly in the middle of her account, Judith Green casts new light
on the significance of the Norman Conquest. She analyses the
changing ways that kings, lords and churchmen exercised power,
especially through the building of massive stone cathedrals and
numerous castles, and highlights the importance of London as the
capital city. The book also explores themes such as changes in
warfare, the decline of slavery and the integration of the North
and South West, as well as concepts such as state, nationalism and
patriarchy.
