Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the tumultuous reign of King Stephen of England, a period often referred to as the Anarchy. The author focuses on the reign's key themes of contested succession, power struggles, and the complex relationship between monarchy, nobility, and the Church. The central figure of the book is Geoffrey de Mandeville, a powerful earl whose career serves as a lens through which to analyze the reign's social and political dynamics. Examining charters granted to Geoffrey, the author offers new insights into the development of the feudal system, the evolving character of earldoms, and the administration of London. The author also delves into the complexities of Stephen's claim to the throne, including the role of the Church in his coronation and the legal implications of his rival, Empress Maud's, appeal to the papal court. The book offers a compelling analysis of a pivotal moment in English history, demonstrating how seemingly minor events could have far-reaching consequences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
