| Summary |
"England under the Angevin Kings, Volume I" by Kate Norgate is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the history and significance of England during the reign of the Angevin Kings, particularly focusing on the period surrounding Henry I's rule from 1100 to 1135. Norgate’s detailed examination aims to outline the political, social, and ecclesiastical transformations that occurred during this time, emphasizing the complexities of governance and the interplay of different factions within English society. The opening portion of the text begins with Norgate's prefatory notes, expressing gratitude to influential figures and detailing the structure of the book, which includes maps and plans to aid the reader's understanding. In the first chapter, the author introduces key themes such as the revival of the English monarchy following the tumultuous Norman period, influenced significantly by the policies and character of Henry I. Drawing upon historical prophecies and comparisons with past rulers, Norgate sets the stage for a narrative that will unfold the challenges and progress of England under a foreign ruling class, detailing how Henry I sought to restore order and governance in a land marked by division and foreign dominance.
