Anglo-Norman Studies XXVII

G.A. LOUD Is Professor Emeritus of Medieval History at the University of Leeds. He is an acknowledged authority on the Normans in the south, and more generally on southern Italy during the Central Middle Ages. JÖRG PELTZER is Professor of Comparative Regional History in a European Perspective at Heidelberg University.

Anglo-Norman Studies is nothing if not wide-ranging. One opens each new volume expecting to find the unexpected - new light on old arguments, new material, new angles. [...]As usual, every Anglo-Normanist will find something of interest in this volume.
