Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive study of the transformation in British society between the Norman Conquest of 1066 and the reign of King John in 1216. The social shift from the Anglo-Saxon era to a feudal society is explored, including a detailed examination of the political, economic, and religious changes that defined this tumultuous period. The author provides an in-depth analysis of key themes such as the rise of the nobility and the decline of the Anglo-Saxon elite, the development of a money economy and the growth of towns, and the increasing power and influence of the Church. Through an examination of original sources and a multifaceted approach, this volume offers a fresh perspective on a crucial era in British history and sheds new light on the foundations of English society as it developed through the Middle Ages.
