9780521744522 / Henry I: King of England and Duke of Normandy 1st Edition
by Cambridge University Press; 1st edition (May 25, 2009) (Author)
Judith Green argues that although Henry’s primary concern was defence of his inheritance, it did not preclude expansion where circumstances were propitious, notably into Welsh territory. His skillful dealings with the Scots permitted consolidation of Norman rule in the northern counties of England, while in Normandy every sinew was strained to defend frontiers through political alliances and stone castles. Green claims that although Henry’s own outlook was essentially traditional, the legacy of this fascinating but repellent personality included some hugely significant developments in governance.
