The Angevin Empire stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. It was ruled by a succession of princes - Henry II, Richard I and John - who could claim to be the most powerful rulers in Western Europe. How were these territories brought together? How were they ruled? Why did John lose his grip on much of the continent? This book offers answers about the Angevin Empire, how it came about, and why it eventually fell.
