Book Descriptions:
Excerpt from Norman Institutions

The institutions of the duchy of Normandy occupy a unique place in the history of Europe. They have their local interest, giving character and distinctness to an important region of France; they furnished models of orderly and centralized administration to the French kings after the conquest of the duchy by Philip Augustus; and they exerted an influence of the first importance upon the constitutional and legal development of England and the countries of English law. Normandy was thus the channel through which the stream of Frankish and feudal custom flowed to England; it was the training ground where the first Anglo-Norman king gained his experience as a ruler, and the source whence his followers drew their ideas of law and government; and during nearly a century and a half of personal union with England it afforded a constant example of parallel development. In the larger view the effects of Norman institutions upon English lands are the most significant, and these naturally possess the principal interest for English and American students of history. The following studies were undertaken in the first instance for the purpose of seeking light on the constitutional development of England, and while they necessarily include many matters which bear on this but indirectly, their original purpose has determined their scope and character. They begin with the earliest trustworthy information respecting the government of Normandy; they end with the loss of the duchy's originality and independence.

A constitutional history of Normandy in this period is, in any full or adequate sense, an impossibility for lack of sufficient information.
