Reviews for The Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries. 1066-c.1280.
Let it be said at the outset: this is a very good book. There is not a single weak chapter in it; three or four of the chapters are indeed by any definition outstanding pieces of historical writing and synthesis. It also lives up to the declares ambitions of the series. Rees Davies, Welsh Historical Review Vol 21,No 2.
