§ 60. WILLIAM I.-RICHARD I. (1066–1199).

For the general history of the period, see especially Ramsay, Adams, and Davis (Nos. 636, 2807a, 2810b). Freeman (Nos. 2812-14) gives the fullest account of the reigns of William I. and William II. On the results of the Norman Conquest, see also Stubbs, Constitutional History; Pollock and Maitland, English Law; Liebermann, Leges Edwardi; Maitland, Domesday Book; and Round, Feudal England: Nos. 643, 657, 1405, 1493, 2827.
