This book examines the rise and fall of the aristocratic Lacy
family in England, Ireland, Wales and Normandy. This involves a
unique analysis of medieval lordship in action, as well as a
re-imagining of the role of English kingship in the western British
Isles and a rewriting of seventy-five years of Anglo-Irish history.
By viewing the political landscape of Britain and Ireland from the
perspective of one aristocratic family, this book produces one of
the first truly transnational studies of individual medieval
aristocrats. This results in an in-depth investigation of
aristocratic and English royal power over five reigns, including
during the tumultuous period of King John and Magna Carta. By
investigating how the Lacys sought to rule their lands in four
distinct realms, this book also makes a major contribution to
current debates on lordship and the foundations of medieval
European society. -- .
