Book Description
Aspects of the reign of King Henry re-examined, from royal biography to administrative history. It is a testament to C. Warren Hollister’s ongoing influence that the reign of Henry I, until his work on the period relatively neglected, is now a vibrant field of inquiry – to which this collection, a special volume of the Haskins Society Journal dedicated to his memory, makes a significant contribution. Its distinguished contributors, many former Hollister students, cover a wide range of areas: royal biography; political history, including Church-Staterelations and relations with neighbors such as Maine and Ireland as well as the English people Henry ruled; administrative history, including fiscal management; and prosopography, especially of the major developments in the Anglo-Norman aristocracy under Henry’s reign. This volume thus continues and extends Hollister’s scholarly legacy. Contributors: ROBERT S. BABCOCK, RICHARD E. BARTON, STEPHANIE MOOERS CHRISTELOW, DAVID CROUCH, RAGENA C. DE ARAGON, LOIS L.
