Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Medieval History series
Paperback / softback
Description
Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-1892) was Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford, and one of the pre-eminent historians of his generation.
Politics was a constant interest for Freeman, who was also a regular contributor to the Saturday Review.
While he wrote on a variety of historical topics, from ancient Greece to the German Federation, and had a great interest in architecture, this six-volume work, published between 1867 and 1879, was his magnum opus.
Freeman reconsiders how the history of the Conquest is understood and examines its causes and results.
Volume 3 focuses almost exclusively on the tumultuous events of 1066.
Freeman analyses Harold's reign, the interregnum, and the later reign of William in Normandy.
Additionally, he provides a thorough account of military events in Normandy and England, and detailed descriptions of battles.
