Originally published in 1973, Origins of English Feudalism suggests
that English feudalism has, for a long time, been the most
controversial and thereby the most highly technical aspect of
English medieval history. The book contains relevant sources that
will be of use to readers and will allow them to study documentary,
literary and archaeological sources from the medieval period. The
debate over the establishment of feudalism in pre-Conquest England
involves not only the question of the presence or absence of fief,
but also of knights and cavalry, castles and vassilic commendation.
This book will be of interest to academics and the ease of use and
careful division of sources, will be of interest to students.

A reissue of the classic guide to the origins, purpose and identity
of the great castles of England and Wales, built after the arrival
of the Normans. Castle studies have been shaped and defined over
the past half-century by the work of R. Allen Brown. His classic
English Castles, renamed here to acknowledge its definitive
approach to the subject, has never been superseded by other more
recent studies, and is still the foundation study of the English,
and Welsh, castles built between the Norman Conquest and the mid
1500s. As the subject evolved, so too did this book, and for the
most recent edition a considerable amount of French comparative
material was added, though it remains essentially a study of
English castles. For Allen Brown, castles were fortified residences
(or residential fortresses), and developed, from European
precursors, to support political and social realities as the Norman
and Angevin kings secured their realm. Once these political ends
had been largely met, the castle and castle-building entered a
period of decline, and domesticand military interests went in
opposite directions. This book, with numerous photographs and
plans, remains the outstanding guide to the origins, purpose and
identity of the great castles of England and Wales. R. ALLEN BROWN
was also the author of The Normans, The Norman Conquest of England
and The Normans and the Norman Conquest and founder of the annual
Battle Conference on Anglo-Norman Studies.

R. Allen Brown selects original material - literature, legal
documents, letters and objects -to present the Norman Conquest.
This selection of documents offers an insight into the Norman
Conquest of England from a variety of perspectives. It is divided
into four parts, each dealing with evidence of a different kind:
literary and narrative sources (including Norman, Old English and
Anglo-Norman texts); documentary sources, such as charters, writs
and leases; letters; and the art of the period, principally, though
not exclusively, from the Bayeux Tapestry. Both Anglo-Saxon and
Norman England are represented, and Normandy itself is the subject
of one section. R. Allen Brown's general introduction supplies a
broad context for the material, and commentaries are provided with
the documents where necessary, explaining points of particular
significance, while a select bibliography gives suggestions for
further reading. All documents are provided in translation.

history at King's College, London, and founder of the annual Battle
conference on Anglo-Norman studies.

Classic work assessing the impact of the Norman Conquest in
European context. The introduction of Brown's book should be made
compulsory reading- LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKSThe `English' who faced
the forces of William duke of Normandy on 14 October 1066 were by
no means a pure-bred and unified race, norwas the flower of
England's manhood laid low by an army of self-seeking Norman
opportunists. R. Allen Brown traces the forces and influences that
shaped both England and Normandy in the decades before 1066, and
shows how the new order, emerging from the aftermath of the battle
of Hastings, produced a degree of political unity and social
dynamism previously unknown in England, bringing a reinvigorated
nation fully into the mainstream of the dynamic expansion of
western Latin Christendom.R. ALLEN BROWN was professor of History
at King's College, London and founder of the annual Battle
Conference on Anglo-Norman studies.
