Feudal England: Historical Studies on the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries
Feudal England, published in 1895, collects the studies that made John Horace Round the most feared critic among English medievalists. The first part works through Domesday Book and its satellite surveys, establishing the hide, the five-hide unit and the method of the great inquest, and then argues in a famous essay that knight service was introduced into England by the Normans rather than inherited from the Anglo-Saxons. The second part turns on E. A. Freeman's account of the Battle of Hastings, demolishing the palisade on Senlac hill, and adds shorter papers on Wace, the Conqueror at Exeter, Walter Tirel, the Nevilles and the Cinque Ports. Round's method, exact and combative, changed the writing of medieval history. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
