| Abstract | This section explores several interlocking themes as to the nature and representation of royal power in England under the Norman and early Angevin kings (c. 1066 - c. 1155). How were royal claims stated and expressed? What were the means by which political actions were legitimised and what were the means by which contemporary observers might be able to evaluate the events they are recoding? |
