`The chief value of this volume lies in providing a survey of the
state of play to supplement and update the standard accounts by
H.A. Cronne in The Reign of Stephen ... and the late R.H.C. Davis
in King Stephen ... and it provides greater detail than the lively
Lancaster pamphlet by Keith Stringer.'
