Synopsis Brian Fitz-Count by : A. D. Crake
A. D. Crake's novel, 'Brian Fitz-Count', tells the story of Wallingford Castle and Dorchester Abbey, two historic landmarks in a country dear to the author. Fitz-Count, a real person in this historical fiction novel, is portrayed with all the faults of most Norman barons in this medieval tale, which features realistic depictions of the dungeons of the Castle and the religious system of the day.

Synopsis King Stephen by : Donald Matthew
The reign of King Stephen (1135-54) has usually been seen as uniquely disasterous in the history of the medieval England -- a counrty riven by a civil war between Stephen and his first cousin, the Empress Matilda, and by an anarchy during which overmighty barons laid waste the country and 'Christ and his saints slept'. Donald Matthew challenges this picture. By questioning such melodramatic assumptions, and by looking clearly at what can and cannot be known about Stephen, he brings new light to both the king and his reign. He shows that much of what has been written about Stephen has been based on the selective use of the testimony of hostile witnesses, and has been shot through by wishful thinking or by the political or historical prejudices of the day. King Stephen is an important, well-written and timely reinterpretation of the crisis of Norman government.

Synopsis The Reign of King Stephen by : David Crouch
At last: an authoritative, up to date account of the troubled reign of King Stephen, by a leading scholar of the Anglo-Norman world. David Crouch covers every aspect of the period - the king and the empress, the aristocracy, the Church, government and the nation at large. He also looks at the wider dimensions of the story, in Scotland, Wales, Normandy and elsewhere. The result (weaving its discussions around a vigorous narrative core) is a a work of major scholarship. A must for specialist and amateur medievalists alike.
