BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
The chief events in the history of the Norman empire are treated in the general works of Miss K. L. Norgate, England under the Angevin Kings (London, 1887); Sir J. H. Ramsay, The Angevin Empire (London, 1903); G. B. Adams, History of England from the Norman Conquest to the Death of John (London, 1905); H. W. C. Davis, England under the Normans and Angevins (London, 1905). There is a brief biography of Henry the Second by Mrs. J. R. Green (London, 1888; reprinted, 1903); and a more recent one by L. F. Salzmann (Boston, etc., 1914). A notable characterization of Henry and his work is given by William Stubbs, in the introduction to his edition of Benedict of Peterborough, ii (London, 1867), reprinted in his Historical Introductions (London, 1902), pp. 89-172. For the continental aspects of the reign see F. M. Powicke, The Loss of Normandy (Manchester, 1913); and his articles in the English Historical Review, xxi, xxii (1906–07). Cf. A. Cartellieri, Die Machtstellung Heinrichs II. von England, in Neue Heidelberger Jahrbücher, viii, pp. 269-83 (1898); F. Hardegen, Imperialpolitik König Heinrichs II. von England (Heidelberg, 1905). The fullest account of Irish affairs is G. H. Orpen, Ireland under the Normans (Oxford, 1911).
