The best book on Normans I have read so far. Very interesting. Recommended to all interested in the topic. New ideas and well written.

A book explaining how the Normans viewed themselves and their history. Very interesting and those with a bent towards Norman history would not be disappointed.

Read a lot of this in the bath while I had the flu.
