This book explores the tumultuous period in medieval England known as "the Anarchy," focusing specifically on the figure of Geoffrey de Mandeville, who epitomizes the feudal and anarchic spirit of his time. The narrative aims to illuminate the principles and causes at play during King Stephen's reign through the detailed examination of Geoffrey's career and the charters that define it. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of the political landscape that surrounded Stephen's accession to the throne. It describes the initial turmoil and questionable legitimacy of Stephen's rule following his uncle's death, outlining his bold attempt to claim the crown despite receiving a rather tepid reception from several key locations in Kent. John Horace Round emphasizes that understanding Geoffrey de Mandeville's role will provide a clearer insight into the broader historical context of this contentious period, revealing how personal ambitions, alliances, and charters played a crucial role in shaping English history during the Anarchy.
