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.
