Round uses charters and genealogical tables to examine the politics and society of twelfth-century England. It offers a detailed view of a turbulent era and a powerful baron.

Transcriber's Note:
Obvious printer errors have been corrected. Hyphenation has been rationalised. Inconsistent spelling (including accents and capitals) has been retained.
The sidenotes to the Empress' Charter in Chapter 4 have been transferred to "pop ups" that accompany underlined words.
These may not display properly in all applications.
Footnote references in the genealogical tables are not hyperlinked to the corresponding footnotes. Small capitals in the tables have been replaced by full capitals. Italics are indicated by _underscores_. The tables in Appendices K and U have been split into two in order to reduce their width.
Some references to years are encased in square brackets, as for example [1136]. To avoid confusion with the numbered footnotes, these references have instead been encased in rounded brackets.
