The union of Normandy and England in 1066 recast the political map of north-western Europe. This book explores the nature of the new relationships and exchanges between Flanders and the Anglo-Norman realm, from knightly tournaments, cross-Channel commerce, the mechanics of medieval immigration and the oldest surviving English treaties.
