About This Book

The chronicle narrates the new king's accession and immediate efforts to establish authority across Normandy and England, recovering treasury, disciplining officials, and restoring or redistributing lands and marriages to secure loyalty. It describes freeing and empowering his mother as regent, reconciliations and rewards for supporters, the assignment of castles and earldoms to his brother and barons, and domestic responses to local disturbances. The account also covers diplomatic accord with the French king, preparations and provisioning for a joint expedition to the Holy Land, and the ceremonial coronation and departure arrangements that mark the opening of his reign.
