Le Patourel, Normandy and England (1971)

Author(s): John Herbert Le Patourel (1909-1981)

Title: Normandy and England 1066-1144

Remarks:

This essay was delivered by Le Patourel as the Stenton Lecture at the University of Reading in 1970. Its contents to an extent anticipate his Norman Empire (se below). From his professor's chair at Leeds University le Patourel maintained a close interest in, and fond sentiments for, his native Channel Islands, evidenced in several publications and his largely unremembered service in organising the historical records in Guernsey's Greffe and supervising their listing, as Archiviste de la Cour Royale (1946-1981). Le Patourel received an honorary doctorate from the University of Caen in 1957 and was made a fellow of the British Academy in 1972. Edition(s): 1971 Provenance of this copy: St John Robilliard Collection
