About This Book

A chronological political and ecclesiastical history of late twelfth-century England that opens with the conflict over the archbishopric and the clash between crown and church, follows Henry II's relations with Rome and the conquest and settlement of Ireland, examines baronial politics and the growth and administration of the Angevin dominions, traces the closing years of Henry II and Richard's reigns, and concludes with the Angevin collapse and the reorganization of English governance to 1206; maps, plans, and contemporary sources underpin analyses of law, authority, and territorial change.
