Conquered England: Kingship, Succession and Tenure, | Reviews in History
This dependency on the king for tenure led to instability throughout the political system and particularly led to great uncertainty any time the succession was at issue. Whilst the book is erudite and scholarly, it remains accessible. This in the main due to the author's very readable style, which consists of using short pithy sentences and a dash of humour here and there. As one would expect for an academic work of this type, it is heavily footnoted thus giving plenty of scope for the interested scholar to carry out further investigation.

Henry II duly succeeded him, but claimed rather to have succeeded his grandfather, Henry I, Stephen's predecessor. Henry II's attempts to demonstrate continuity with his grandfather were modelled on William the Conqueror's treatment of Edward the Confessor. Just as William's fabricated history had been the foundation for the tenurial settlement recorded in the Domesday Book, so Henry II's, in a different way, underpinned the early common law procedures which began to undermine aspects of that settlement.

The official history of the Conquest played a crucial role not only in creating a new society, but in the development of that society. Highly original and thoroughly persuasive.
