Book Description

First edition. 2 volumes in original olive cloth, with gilt spine lettering. Maps and plans (some folding) in each volume, as called for. Ex heritage library, but no external markings. Presentation bookplates; small ink number at lower margin of contents pages, and small blindstamps (almost undetectable) on page 9 of each volume; library pockets at rear.

This book traces their history back to the reign of Henry I and The Anarchy (Stephen and Maud/Matilda), and also covers the history of Anjou and its acquisition through the marriage of Maud and Geoffrey, Count of Anjou.
