Conquest, Anarchy and Lordship
by Paul Dalton
Focusing on Yorkshire, by far the largest English county, this book examines three of the most important themes in the period described by Sir Frank Stenton as the first century of English feudalism: the Norman conquest, the anarchy of Stephen's reign, and the nature of lordship and land tenure. In each case the book offers a strong challenge to dominant and accepted historical interpretations that will alter significantly our conception of Anglo-Norman politics and government.
Medieval Europe
by C. Warren Hollister
This concise text presents the development of Europe during the Middle Ages carefully charting its progression from a primitive rural society, sparsely settled and impoverished, to a powerful and distinctive civilization. The text is divided into three major sections; Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages, Late Middle Ages. This edition was updated to incorporate the latest research and offers increased coverage of social history and the history of women.

The Carolingians and the Written Word
by Rosamond McKitterick
This pioneering book studies the function and status of the written word in Carolingian society in France and Germany in the eighth and ninth centuries. It demonstrates that literacy was by no means confined to a clerical elite, but was dispersed in lay society and used for government and administration, as well as for ordinary legal transactions among the peoples of the Frankish kingdom. While employing a huge range of primary material, the author does not confine herself to a functional analysis of the written word in Carolingian northern Europe but goes on to assess the consequences and implications of literacy for the Franks themselves and for the subsequent development of European society after 1000.
