The history of the Norman conquest of England, its causes and its results,…
"The History of the Norman Conquest of England: Its Causes and Its Results" by Edward A. Freeman is a six-volume historical study published between 1867 and 1879. This monumental work examines the Norman invasion and its aftermath, tracing events from Anglo-Saxon England through William the Conqueror's reign. Freeman championed Anglo-Saxon institutions and challenged Norman chronicles, drawing on decades of research to present deeply held convictions about English identity. Despite its scholarly reputation
and enormous detail, the work's length and passionate Whig perspective have sparked both criticism and lasting influence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
