SYNOPSIS: This is a description of England during the two and a half centuries after the Norman Conquest. A chronological setting is given to the development of society during the period by references to political events of the time. The relations between the King, the nobles, the Church, and the people are described, and the author sketches the stages by which, as time went on, departments of state evolved out of the individual authority of officers of the royal household, and Parliament out of the King's Council. But essentially the book recaptures the life of ordinary people in these centuries and, with the help of contemporary records, describes the well-wooded country they inhabited and their manner of cultivating the open fields, their manors, villages, and towns, their courts, their churches, and their pastimes.

"Rogers ( 1879 – 1935) was an American cowboy, vaudeville performer, humorist, newspaper columnist, social commentator, and stage and motion picture actor. Known as "Oklahoma's Favorite Son", Rogers was born to a prominent Cherokee Nation family in Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma). He traveled around the world three times, made 71 movies (50 silent films and 21 "talkies") , and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns. By the mid-1930s, the American people adored Rogers. He was the leading political wit of his time, and was the highest paid Hollywood movie star. Rogers died in 1935 with aviator Wiley Post, when their small airplane crashed in northern Alaska. " ., University of Oklahoma Press, 2000, 4, T.Fisher Unwin, 1900.
