The Angevins and the Charter (1154-1216): The Beginning of English Law, the Invasion of Ireland and the Crusades
Great Britain -- History -- Angevin period, 1154-1216 -- Sources; Magna Carta
The following are the territories which John lost by his cruelties and
oppressions, which he did not resist from doing to everyone. First of
all the duchy of Normandy, the County of Blois, the County of Maine,
Anjou, Poitou, the Limosin, Auvergne and Angoulême. And all these
districts at one time belonged to King John. Besides this he subjected
England and Ireland to the payment of tribute, and never recovered any
of his losses, to the day of his death.

English History Source Books
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"This compilation from original sources will be found an excellent
supplement to the ordinary school class-book on History."--_Athenæum._
"This new volume (_Puritanism and Liberty_) of Messrs. Winbolt and
Bell's excellent series is fully up to the standard of its predecessors.
The existence of such collections of original documents at so reasonable
a price must make the study of history infinitely easier for both
teacher and pupil, and infinitely more interesting."--_Spectator._
"Extracts such as will add flesh and blood to the dry-bones of a
textbook."--_Journal of Education._
"We have often felt the need for such a book during our own preparation
of the history lesson, and we welcome this series.... In view of the
recent Regulations of the Department regarding history, the series
will be indispensable to those reading history for the L.C.
Certificate."--_Educational News._
"A wonderful volume for the price asked and is full of good things well
chosen."--_Guardian._
"The books are excellent and should prove exceedingly useful to
scholars, for they are no dry-as-dust compilations, which have done more
to turn people against the study of history than anything
else."--_Field._
"Even the ordinary reader will find much in these volumes to entertain
as well as to instruct. In addition to "stock" documents, there is
included much novel matter. The price of the volumes is almost
ludicrously small when compared with their worth."--_Liverpool Post._
"We give a hearty welcome to the Series."--_Education._
