Summary :

From the Battle of Hastings to the Battle of Bosworth Field,

Nicholas Vincent tells the story of how Britain was born. When William, Duke of

Normandy, killed King Harold and seized the throne of England, England's language,

culture, politics and law were transformed. Over the next four hundred years, under

royal dynasties that looked principally to France for inspiration and ideas, an English

identity was born, based in part upon struggle for control over the other parts of the

British Isles (Scotland, Wales and Ireland), in part upon rivalry with the kings of

France. From these struggles emerged English law and an English Parliament, the

English language, English humour and England's first overseas empires. In this

thrilling and accessible account, Nicholas Vincent not only tells the story of the rise

and fall of dynasties, but investigates the lives and obsessions of a host of lesser

men and women, from archbishops to peasants, and from soldiers to scholars, upon

whose enterprise the social and intellectual foundations of Englishness now rest.

This the first book in the four volume Brief History of Britain which brings together

some of the leading historians to tell our nation's story from the Norman Conquest

of 1066 to the present-day. Combining the latest research with accessible and

entertaining story telling, it is the ideal introduction for

students and general readers..
