Focusing on Yorkshire, by far the largest English county, this
book, first published in 1994, examines three of the most important
themes in the period described by Sir Frank Stenton as 'the first
century of English feudalism': the Norman conquest, the anarchy of
Stephen's reign, and the nature of lordship and land tenure. In
each case the book offers a strong challenge to dominant
interpretations which will alter significantly our conception of
Anglo-Norman politics and government. The first section of the book
reveals that the Norman conquest of Yorkshire was a much more rapid
and carefully controlled process than has been supposed; the second
section examines the 'anarchy' of King Stephen's reign and its
consequences; and the final section deals with lordship, one of the
most significant aspects of medieval society. Offering many
revisionary arguments throughout, the book will become essential
reading on both 'the first century' and 'the legal framework' of
English feudalism.
