Summary

Freeman reconsiders how the history of the Conquest is understood, and examines its causes and results. Tracing that history from its roots in fifth-century England, his volumes, published between 1867 and 1879, provide a comprehensive account of the politics and life of early medieval England as it underwent significant changes.
