Books in the Britain and Europe series

Britain & Europe, 1500-1780 explores the history of Britain, emphasizing political relations and important connections between its three kingdoms and the continental powers. Houlbrooke analyzes political and religious events, locating them in the broader picture of the society, economics and culture of the time.

This survey of medieval Britain is a coherent narrative of events between the two great invasions from continental Europe. It is unique both for its broad historical perspective and for its wide geographic coverage: it spans the "long" millennium from the first century BC through the Norman conquest and covers events in the whole of Britain
