Conquest, Anarchy and Lordship - Yorkshire, 1066–1154

Focusing on Yorkshire, this book, first published in 1994, examines three key themes in the period 1066–1154: the Norman conquest, the anarchy of Stephen's reign, and the nature of lordship and land tenure. In each case it offers a strong challenge to dominant interpretations, and new ways of conceptualizing Anglo-Norman politics and government.
