This first comprehensive biography of Henry I, an elusive figure for historians, provides a rich and compelling account of his tumultuous life and reign and presents a significant new perspective on his court, showing how it was shaped by his fascinating, if repellent, personality.

This is the first full-length analysis of the machinery and men of government under Henry I, which looks in much greater detail than is possible for other contemporary states at the way government worked and at the careers of royal servants.

This book provides the first rounded account of the new ruling elite of England in the century after 1066. It focuses on four main themes: land, power, politics, and society (including, specifically, the role of women).
