Henry I son of William the Conqueror ruled from 1100 to 1135 a time of fundamental change in the Anglo-Norman world This long-awaited biography written by one of the most distinguished medievalists of his generation offers a major reassessment of Henry's character & reign Challenging the dark & dated portrait of the king as brutal greedy & repressive it argues instead that Henry's rule was based on reason & order C Warren Hollister points out that Henry laid the foundations for judicial & financial institutions usually attributed to his grandson Henry II Royal government was centralized & systematized leading to firm stable & peaceful rule for his subjects in both England & Normandy By mid-reign Henry I was the most powerful king in Western Europe & with astute diplomacy an intelligence network & strategic marriages of his children (legitimate & illegitimate) he was able to undermine the various coalitions mounted against him Henry strove throughout his reign to solidify the Anglo-Norman dynasty & his marriage linked the Normans to the Old English line Hollister vividly describes Henry's life & reign places them against the political background of the time & provides analytical studies of the king & his magnates the royal administration & relations between king & church The resulting volume is one that will be welcomed by students & general readers alike ...

Henry III was a medieval king whose long reign continues to have a profound impact on us today He was on the throne for 56 years & during this time England was transformed from being the private play-thing of a French speaking dynasty into a medieval state in which the king answered for his actions to an English parliament which emerged during Henry's lifetime Despite Henry's central importance for the birth of parliament & the development of a state recognisably modern in many of its institutions it is Henry's most vociferous opponent Simon de Montfort who is in many ways more famous than the monarch himself Henry is principally known today as the driving force behind the building of Westminster Abbey but he deserves to be better understood for many reasons

- David Carpenter author of The Reign of King Henry IIIHenry III (1207-72) reigned for 56 years the longest-serving English monarch until the modern era Although knighted by William Marshal he was no warrior king like his uncle Richard the Lionheart He preferred to feed the poor to making war & would rather spend time with his wife & children than dally with mistresses & lord over roundtables He sought to replace the dull projection of power imported by his Norman predecessors with a more humane & open-hearted monarchy But his ambition led him to embark on bold foreign policy initiatives to win back the lands & prestige lost by his father King John This set him at odds with his increasingly insular barons & clergy now emboldened by the protections of Magna Carta In one of the great political duels of history Henry struggled to retain the power & authority of the crown against radical reformers like Simon de Montfort He emerged victorious but at a cost both to the kingdom & his reputation among historians Yet his long rule also saw extraordinary advancements in politics & the arts from the rise of the parliamentary state & universities to the great cathedrals of the land including Henry's own enduring achievement Westminster Abbey
