Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the nature of the English monarchy from the Saxon to the Norman period. It does this by examining the factual information available from the time, rather than relying on the theoretical assertions of partisan writers, such as the Norman historians of the conquest. The author subjects each stage of the key arguments to scrutiny and comprehensively debunks the conventional view that England was conquered in 1066. Instead, they demonstrate that William was able to impose his claim under the existing law and with the consent of the English at the time. The book also thoroughly examines the arguments of more recent writers on this subject and shows that they too often rely on the Norman histories and suffer from the same flaws as earlier writers. It also provides an illuminating discussion of the position of the English monarchs as being outside the feudal system, thus forming a link to both the Anglo-Saxon and Roman imperial systems of government. Ultimately, it concludes that William's accession was not a conquest and that the government of England was continuous from Anglo-Saxon times through the Norman Conquest and beyond.
