Note 21 — Chapter XII · FRANCE, NORMANDY, AND ANJOU, AND THE BEGINNINGS OF THE GREATNESS OF THE CAPETIAN MONARCHY (1108–1189)[21]

Besides M. Luchaire’s Institutions Monarchiques, his Louis VI. le Gros, Annales de sa vie et de son règne and his Etudes sur les actes de Louis VII., are of capital importance for this period. Hirsch’s Studien zur Geschichte Ludwigs VII. von Frankreich, and Delisle’s Catalogue des Actes de Philippe Auguste, well illustrate the latter part of the chapter. Hutton’s short Philip Augustus (‘Foreign Statesmen Series’) is a readable summary, while W. Walker’s On the Increase of the Royal Power in France under Philip Augustus is also useful. Miss Norgate’s England under the Angevin Kings is fullest for the struggle of France and Anjou.
