This book, a revised and extended version of Professor Davies's
1988 Wiles Lectures, explores the ways in which the kings and
aristocracy of England sought to extend their domination over
Ireland, Scotland and Wales in the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. It analyses the mentalities of domination and subjection
- how the English explained and justified their pretensions and how
native rulers and societies in Ireland and Wales responded to the
challenge. It also explains how the English monarchy came to claim
and exercise a measure of ???imperial??? control over the whole of
the British Isles by the end of the thirteenth century, converting
a loose domination into sustained political and governmental
control. This is a study of the story of the Anglo-Norman and
English domination of the British Isles in the round. Hitherto
historians have tended to concentrate on the story in each country
- Ireland, Scotland and Wales - individually. This book looks at
the issue comparatively, in order to highlight the comparisons and
contrasts in the strategies of domination and in the responses of
native societies.
