The history of the Norman conquest of England, its causes and its results, Volume 1 (of 6)
Edward A. Freeman, later Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford, published his six-volume History of the Norman Conquest between 1867 and 1879, and this first volume sets out the causes. It traces the formation of the English kingdom from the coming of the Saxons in 449 to the tenth century, examines the constitution of old England, its kingship and its witenagemot, sketches the history of Normandy from the settlement of Rolf, and follows the Danish conquest of England down to the death of Æthelred in 1016. Freeman writes with enormous detail and strong opinions, insisting on the continuity of English institutions through every conquest.
