The author set out to fill a gap, providing a more accurate account than before of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland, and then to fill in some of the historical blanks of the succeeding centuries, in which he concluded that the domination of the English crown and its ministers in Ireland was more complete in the 13th century than had previously been recognised. Two books, the first covers 1169-1216.
