The Angevin Empire by John Gillingham
At its greatest extent, the Angevin Empire stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. For fifty years it was the dominant political entity and English and French history were inextricably woven together. This study looks at how these disparate territories came together, how they were ruled, and whether they truly constituted an empire. The new edition of this groundbreaking work has been thoroughly revised and carries two new chapters.
'Brimming with argument and controversy every inch of the way.. a book which everyone interested in the period should read.' Nigel Saul in History Today 'A model of how to write medieval history.' Peregrine Horden in British Book News 'The Angevin Empire is much more that a synthesis: it stands as a work of original research.' H.E. Mayer in Deutsches Archiv 'This concise, lucid and lively book provides readers with more than just a precise account; as the product of the author's own reflection, it will stimulate them to make up their own minds.' Jean-Phillipe Genet in Le Moyen Age 'A prime example of how to write history in a lively and interesting style.' France in Print
