Reviews

[Sunderland's] book is a remarkable collection of sources woefully underused (and likely little-known) by historians, presented to create a convincing argument for political engagement by Francophone barons throughout the High and Late Middle Ages. In many ways, this is a worthy successor to Achille Luchaire's La societe francaise au temps de Philippe-Auguste [...] this is a valuable work of interdisciplinarity which will prove important to literary critics and historians alike. * G.E.M. Lippiatt, University of East Anglia, in H-France Review *
