Preface to the first edition.
I am first and foremost grateful to the publishers, Boydell and Brewer, for agreeing to reissue this book, which was most certainly not dead but had unhappily been out of print for a number of years.
Preface to the second edition.
Few subjects in English history have been studied more and for longer than the Norman Conquest, and few have been more bent in the process by biases interpretations based upon unhistorical prejudices.
