There are studies here of particular Anglo-Normans including a great aristocrat and a seneschal of Normandy; of records relating to Normandy surviving in England; of the Norman and English Exchequers between them the financial mainstay of the king/dukes; of the controversial origins of the English Chancery records; and of Rosamund Clifford the /dukes; of the controversial origins of the English Chancery records; and of Rosamund Clifford the King's mistress.
