Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (34)The two-and-a-half centuries after 1066 were momentous ones in the history of Britain. In 1066, England was conquered for the last time. The Anglo-Saxon ruling class was destroyed and the English became a subject race, dominated by a Norman-French dynasty and aristocracy. This book shows how the English domination of the kingdom was by no means a foregone conclusion. The struggle for mastery in the book's title is in reality the struggle for different masteries within Great Britain. The book weaves together the histories of England, Scotland and Wales in a new way and argues that all three, in their different fashions, were competing for domination.

For once it really is a history of Britain with each chapter giving if not equal time at least proportionate time to the different British nations. It had a lot I didn't know from more Anglocentric accounts about the early history of Scotland and Wales.
It was fairly heavy going in places but worth persevering. I would have liked to know whether the move to a more bureaucratic, record-keeping state was in line with a general European movement, or lagged behind such developments on the Continent, or whether England was a front runner. ( )
