England under the Angevin Kings, Volumes I and II
England under the Angevin Kings, published in two volumes in 1887, was Kate Norgate's first and most important book, and this edition contains both volumes. It begins with the counts of Anjou and the Norman settlement of England, then gives a detailed political and constitutional history of the reigns of Henry II and Richard I: the wars with Stephen and with the king's own sons, the quarrel with Thomas Becket, the conquest of Ireland, the legal and administrative reforms, the Crusade and the long struggle with France that ended, under John, in the loss of Normandy. Norgate worked from the chronicles and charters under the guidance of J. R. Green, and her narrative remained the standard account for decades. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
