Excerpt from History of the Four Conquest of England, Vol. 2 of 2 Over Ethelred's amatory achievements the Chroniclers have, in many instances, drawn a veil, though not so thick as entirely to conceal their character. He now, in A.D. 1002, conceived the idea of strengthening himself against his enemies by contracting an alliance with a Norman princess. All the steps he had previously taken might have been retrieved - he might have listened to wiser counsellors -superior armies and fleets might have been organised and equipped the nation might have roused itself from its lethargy, and shaken off the northern incubus; but, by intermarrying with a daughter of the Vikings recently established in France, he enlarged the range of pretensions to the English throne, and prepared the way for the Battle of Hastings. It may doubtless be said for him that he was at his wits end - no great way to travel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A History of the Four Georges, Vol. 2 of 4 While this volume was passing through the press, The English Historical Review published an inter esting article by Professor J. K. Laughton on the subject of J enkins's Ear. Professor Laughton, while lately making some researches in the Admiralty records, came on certain correspondence which ap pears to have escaped notice up to that time, and he regards it as incidentally confirming the story of Jenkins's Ear, 'which for certainly more than a hun dred years has generally been believed to be a fable.' The correspondence, in my opinion, leaves the story exactly as it found it. We only learn from it that Jenkins made a complaint about his ear to the English naval commander at Port Royal, who re ceived the tale with a certain incredulity, but never theless sent formal report of it to the Admiralty and addressed a remonstrance to the Spanish authorities.

Excerpt from Eustace Fitz-Richard, Vol. 2 of 4: A Tale of the Barons Wars It was on the second day following that of the entertainment to Eustace's new acquaintance, that master Fitz-Richard introduced the name of sir Alwyn, and particularly mentioned his engagements to the Moors of Grenada, which he said was the more to be regretted, from the difficulty sir Alwyn found in raising the required sum of money, and which would probably oblige him in honour to return to Spain, at a time his services might be so valuable to his royal master.

Harold Godwineson was king of England from January 1066 until his death at Hastings in October of that year. For much of the reign of Edward the Confessor, who was married to Harold’s sister Eadgyth, the Godwine family, led by Earl Godwine, had dominated English politics. In The Rise and Fall of the House of Godwine, Emma Mason tells the turbulent story of a remarkable family which, until Harold’s unexpected defeat, looked far more likely than the dukes of Normandy to provide the long-term rulers of England. But for the Norman Conquest, an Anglo-Saxon England ruled by the Godwine dynasty would have developed very differently from that dominated by the Normans.
Exploring the successful Norman invasion of England in 1066, this concise and readable book focuses especially on the often dramatic and enduring changes wrought by William the Conqueror and his followers. From the perspective of a modern social historian, Hugh M. Thomas considers the conquest's wide-ranging impact by taking a fresh look at such traditional themes as the influence of battles and great men on history and assessing how far the shift in ruling dynasty and noble elites affected broader aspects of English history. The author sets the stage by describing English society before the Norman Conquest and recounting the dramatic story of the conquest, including the climactic Battle of Hastings. He then traces the influence of the invasion itself and the Normans' political, military, institutional, and legal transformations. Inevitably following on the heels of institutional reform came economic, social, religious, and cultural changes. The results, Thomas convincingly shows, are both complex and surprising. In some areas where one might expect profound influence, such as government institutions, there was little change. In other respects, such as the indirect transformation of the English language, the conquest had profound and lasting effects. With its combination of exciting narrative and clear analysis, this book will capture students interest in a range of courses on medieval and Western history.
