Description
A comprehensive survey of Normandy from its origins in the tenth century to its conquest two hundred years later. This book provides a revised analysis of the duchy's establishment and governance, exploring how the Norman rulers maintained their authority through various tools and strategies. The book delves into the practicalities of ducal power, revealing that it was shaped by both top-down and bottom-up forces. The Viking adventurer Rollo's grant of territory in 911 marked a turning point, but subsequent grants and conflicts with rival lords and neighbours were necessary to secure the duchy's future. By examining the geographical and political development of Normandy, this book sheds new light on the complex relationships between the dukes and their rivals for land and loyalty.
