Geoffrey de Mandeville: A study of the Anarchy
J. H. Round's Geoffrey de Mandeville, published in 1892, studies the civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda, known as the Anarchy, through the career of one of its most notorious barons. Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, sold his support to each side in turn, extracting from both a series of charters that granted him lands, offices and castles. Round reconstructs the order and dates of these documents, several of them printed in full, and uses them to retell the story of the reign, from Stephen's accession and the rout of Winchester to Geoffrey's fall and death. It is detailed, combative scholarship that reshaped the study of the period. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
