Miles Edwulfson in the 12th Century

Miles Edwulfson in the 12th Century follows an English former soldier in the generation after the Norman Conquest, when royal law, local lordship and ethnic mistrust still shape daily life. The series uses murder investigations, land disputes and political intrigue to explore Anglo-Norman England under Henry I. Miles’s position between English villagers, Norman aristocrats and royal officers lets the books treat justice as both a personal obligation and a dangerous instrument of power.
