Item description from seller

Paperback. The turbulent reign of Stephen, King of England (113554), has been styled since the late 19th century as 'the Anarchy, although the extent of political breakdown during the period has since been vigorously debated. Rebellion and bitter civil war characterised Stephens protracted struggle with rival claimant Empress Matilda and her Angevin supporters over nineteen long winters when, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Christ and his Saints slept. Drawing on new research and fieldwork, this innovative volume offers the first ever overview and synthesis of the archaeological and material record for this controversial period. It presents and interrogates many different types of evidence at a variety of scales, ranging from nationwide mapping of historical events through to conflict landscapes of battlefields and sieges. The volume considers archaeological sites such as castles and other fortifications, churches, monasteries, bishops palaces and urban and rural settlements, alongside material culture including coins, pottery, seals and arms and armour. This approach not only augments but also challenges historical narratives, questioning the real impact of Stephens troubled reign on society, settlement, church and the landscape, and opens up new perspectives on the conduct of Anglo-Norman warfare The first ever archaeologically based study of the turbulent period of English history often known as the Anarchy of King Stephens reign in the mid-twelfth century, covering battlefields and conflict landscapes, arms, armour and material culture, fortifications and the church. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
