concentrating our attention so exclusively on the dominions of the Plantagenets that we have left out of view that greater Normandy to the south which constitutes one of the most brilliant chapters of Norman achievement and one of the most fascinating subjects of European history. These topics will be the themes of the three remaining lectures.
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
The best account of the downfall of the Norman empire is Powicke, The Loss of Normandy, where abundant references will be found to further material. The general narratives of Adams, Davis, and Ramsay may also be consulted, as well as Miss Norgate, John Lackland (London, 1902). For the French side see Luchaire, in Lavisse, Histoire de France, iii, i. The fullest treatment of relations between the Plantagenets and France, down to 1199, is A. Cartellieri, Philipp II. August (Leipzig, 1899-1910), supplemented by his Richard Lowenherz im heiligen Lande, in Historische Zeitschrift, ci, pp. 1-27 (1908), and Philipp II. August und der Zusammenbruch des angiovinischen Reiches (Leipzig, 1913). For the controversy concerning John's condemnation by the court of Philip, see Gross, Sources and Literature, nos. 2829, 2833. Characterizations of Richard and John by Stubbs will be found in his Historical Introductions, pp. 315 ff., 439 ff. J. Lehmann, Johann ohne Land (Berlin, 1904), is more favorable to John. The biography of the Young King is traced by P. C. E. Hodgson, Jung Heinrich, Konig von England (Jena, 1906).
There is no general work on the English occupation of Normandy in the fifteenth century; the scattered monographs are mentioned in Prentout, La Normandie, pp. 71-76. Something may be expected from the continuation of the late J. H. Wylie's work on the reign of Henry V.
