Impact of the Norman Conquest

Since the Norman Conquest wrought a transformation in the personnel of the English aristocracy, this book lays particular stress on changes or continuities in feudal organization, aristocratic land holding, and military institutions. The question of evolution versus revolution in these areas has given rise to an intense historical controversy: Did the Normans transform England or was their coming merely an episode in the development of British traditions? Contemporary and modern appraisals of the period are presented in this text.Hollister, Warren C. is the author of 'Impact of the Norman Conquest' with ISBN 9780898744705 and ISBN 0898744709.
