Summary "Henry the Second" by Alice Stopford Green is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and reign of Henry II of England, exploring his impact on the development of English law, governance, and the broader implications of his rule across Britain and France. It highlights how his reforms laid the groundwork for modern governance and unified diverse regions under his rule. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of Henry II's influence, character, and the political landscape of 12th-century England. It introduces Henry Plantagenet as a formidable foreign king who spoke little English, yet shaped a unified identity among the conquered and conqueror races over his 35-year reign. The narrative describes the legacy of Henry's reforms, including the establishment of common law and the relationship between the Church and the State. As the chapter progresses, it outlines the political turmoil surrounding Henry's rise, including his early life, struggles for power, and the historical context of England at the time, ultimately establishing the foundation for understanding his role as a transformative figure in history.
