This book provides a selection from the abundant source material generated by the Normans and the peoples they conquered. It takes a wide European perspective on the Normans, assessing and explaining Norman expansion, their political and social organization and their eventual decline. The Normans in Europe explores: the process of assimilation between Scandinavians and Franks and the emergence of Normandy; the internal organization of the principality with a variety of source materials from chronicles, miracle stories and chapters; the role of women and children in Norman society; and a variety of other areas.

Excellent collectionof primary sources!,

This review is from: The Normans in Europe (Manchester Medieval Sources Series) (Paperback)
This collection contains at least a sampling of virtually every text available regarding the medieval Normans. I used it inn a classroom at university this spring to wonderful reviews from advanced-level undergraduates. This author is perhaps THE best person working in the field of medieval Normandy today, no one is better qualified to put a sourcebook like this together! Thanks to Elisabeth Van Houts for this marvelous read and marvelous tool!
