Sir Francis Palgrave (1788–1861) was a distinguished English historian, solicitor and antiquarian, now considered to be the founder of the Public Record Office. After his death, Palgrave's son Sir Inglis Palgrave edited his Collected Historical Works, which focus mostly on the Anglo-Norman and Middle Ages. Originally published in 1921, this fourth volume of the Collected Historical Works contains the text of the fourth and final part of Palgrave's exhaustive history of England and Normandy, which covers events in Britain and Normandy between the death of William the Conqueror and the accession of Henry Plantagenet. Editorial notes are supplied at the back of the volume. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in English or French history or in Victorian historiography.
