The Continuity of the Conquest: Charlemagne and Anglo-Norman Imperialism - Paperback

by Wendy Marie Hoofnagle (Author)

An interdisciplinary study examining the origins of Anglo-Norman views of kingship in idealized interpretations of Charlemagne's imperium. Demonstrates how the idea of "Englishness" developed in the Middle Ages as much as a consequence of the Anglo-Norman imagination and experience as a reaction against it.
