Biography
Richard Huscroft
'Fluent, wide-ranging and up-do-date, this is an excellent synthesis of recent work on the ever-fascinating topic of the Norman Conquest. It reveals not only how much was achieved by twentieth-century historians of the Conquest, but how much still remains to be discovered.'
Nicholas Vincent, Professor of Medieval History, University of East Anglia
