Between 1189 and 1204, the Angevin empire unravelled and Normandy was lost for ever to the English crown. The stakes were nothing less. In The Loss of Normandy (1189-1204): Studies in the History of the Angevin Empire, F. M. Powicke offers a lucid medieval history study of power, loyalty, and failure at the heart of the Angevin Plantagenet dynasty, unpicking the Plantagenet Capetian conflict and the tangled relations between King John and Normandy. Grounded in close reading of the surviving evidence, this classic scholarly medieval monograph sets the loss of Normandy within the larger sweep of Angevin empire history, from the last years of Henry II through the early King John reign history, illuminating 12th century Normandy and the shifting balance between medieval England and France. Respected for its meticulous reasoning, careful use of evidence, and measured prose, Powicke's study has long been valued as a reference for historians and as a rigorous yet readable guide for medieval history students approaching the complexities of Angevin empire history. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For anyone fascinated by medieval England and France, by the fortunes of the Angevin Plantagenet dynasty, or by the dramatic turning-point that saw the end of English rule in Normandy, this remains an essential work of King John reign history and of high medieval political narrative.
