Summary "The Early Plantagenets" by William Stubbs is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the significant period in English history from the reign of King Stephen through to the reign of Henry III, exploring themes of political evolution, feudal struggles, and the establishment of constitutional principles. It sets the backdrop for understanding how the Plantagenet dynasty influenced the development of English governance and society. The opening of the book presents a comprehensive introduction to the historical context of the early Plantagenets. Stubbs emphasizes the importance of this epoch not only in English history but also in relation to concurrent developments in France and Germany. He outlines the tumultuous beginnings with King Stephen's accession and the ensuing conflicts with Empress Matilda, which led to a period of anarchy. This turmoil sets the stage for the rise of Henry II and the constitutional advancements that followed. Overall, the opening presents a scholarly analysis aimed at establishing a foundation for understanding the complex dynamics of power, governance, and societal change during this critical period.
