Description
The Norman Expansion: Connections, Continuities and Contrasts explores the enduring impact of the Normans on European societies. From their influence on state formation in the British Isles and Mediterranean lands to their interactions with native societies, this collection of essays sheds new light on the complexities of colonial elites and their categorization. The book examines key aspects of the Norman experience, including identities and identification, marriage policies, acculturation, and the transformation of power landscapes. It also delves into castle-building strategies, frontier dynamics, urban governance, and law and legislation. By treating the Normans as a genuinely European phenomenon, this volume offers a fresh perspective on their role in shaping the medieval world. This collection of essays serves to illuminate and open up debate on the salient themes concerning the Norman experience of diaspora and settlement, providing valuable insights for historians and scholars alike.
