Publisher's Synopsis
The Angevin Empire, which dominated the territory from Scotland in the north to the Pyrenees in the south during the reigns of Henry II and his sons, was built upon the state created by their ancestors during the 10th and 11th centuries. The studies in the early history of the dynasty reprinted here demonstrate both the methods used by men such as Geoffrey Greymantle, Fulk Nerra, and Geoffrey Martel, to create a viable state and the methodologies used by historians to establish the facts of early Angevin history.
