Castles and the AngloNorman World,Used

Castles and the AngloNorman World is a major new synthesis drawing together a series of 20 papers by 26 French and English specialists in the field of AngloNorman studies. It includes summaries of current knowledge and new research into important Norman castles in England and Normandy, drawing on information from recent excavations. Sections consider the evolution of AngloNorman castles, the architecture and archaeology of Norman monuments, Romanesque architecture and artifacts, the Bayeux Tapestry and the presentation of historic sites to the public. These studies are presented together with a consideration of the 12th century crossChannel Norman Empire, which provides a broader context.This work is the result of a conference held at Norwich Castle in 2012, which was part of a collaboration between professionals in the fields of archaeology, architecture, museums and heritage, under the banner of the Norman Connections Project.Table of ContentsList of ContributorsAcknowledgementsPrefaceGeorge NobbsIntroducing Norman ConnectionsJohn A.
