THE NORMAN FRONTIER IN THE

TWELFTH AND EARLY THIRTEENTH

CENTURIES

The twelfth-century borderlands of the duchy of Normandy formed the

cockpit for dynastic rivalries between the kings of England and France.

This book examines how the political divisions between Normandy and

its neighbours shaped the communities of the Norman frontier. It traces

the region’s history from the conquest of Normandy in 1106 by Henry I of

England, to the duchy’s annexation in 1204 by the king of France, Philip

Augustus, and its incorporation into the Capetian kingdom. It explores

the impact of the frontier upon princely and ecclesiastical power struc-

tures, customary laws, and noble strategies such as marriage, patronage,

and suretyship. Particular attention is paid to the lesser aristocracy as well

as the better-known magnates, and an extended appendix reconstructs the

genealogies of thirty-three prominent frontier lineages. The book sheds

new light upon the twelfth-century French aristocracy, and makes a sig-

niﬁcant contribution to our understanding of medieval political frontiers.
