From Norman Conquest to Magna Carta is a wide-ranging history of England from 1066 to 1215. Starting with the build-up to the Battle of Hastings and ending with the Magna Carta, Christopher Daniell traces the profound change England underwent in the meantime, from religion through court life to arts and architecture. This survey uses a combination of original sources and sharp analysis to trace England's transformation after 1066. The Papacy became powerful enough to proclaim Crusades or challenge kings. The new monastic orders revitalised Christianity in England and spread European learning throughout the country. The new Norman conquerors changed the landscape with major building projects, new cathedrals and churches, and numerous castles in the countryside to defend the new lords. In 1215 the king's administration had become more sophisticated and centralised. The homelands in Normandy had been lost, forcing future kings to concentrate on England. The Magna Carta was signed in 1215 and would revolutionize the world in centuries to come. This volume should be useful reading for all students of Middle Age history.
