Warfare under the Anglo-Norman Kings, 1066-1135 by Stephen R Morillo
A major re-statement of the nature of Anglo-Norman warfare, with special emphasis on the role of the familia regis, the King's military household.
Should have a place on reading lists of students of war, feudalism, and English history, not to mention wider subjects such as introductions to the middle ages and surveys of social history.. No single volume this reviewer has seen combines so well the analysis of armies and the actions on a field of battle or in sieges. A thoughtful selection of good, original maps and illustrations will be widely appreciated... to be recommended. ALBION [Michael R. Powicke] A thought-provoking contribution to scholarship on the actual military practices of the first three kings of Anglo-Norman England... a comprehensive view of medieval warfare [which] will doubtless stimulate further broad thinking about this topic. AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW [Frederick C. Suppe] Significant for any study of the Anglo-Norman period. SPECULUM Apporte incontestablement sa note originale. REVUE HISTORIQUE Excellent... a welcome introduction to the vast field of literature. -- MARJORIE CHIBNALL * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
