This book constitutes the third volume in the series The Expansion of Latin Europe, 1000-1500, edited by James Muldoon and Felipe FernándezArmesto. This series, which will eventually contain fourteen volumes, covers large and important areas of the medieval history of Europe, from the spread of Latin Christendom to Islamic expansionism and the effects of the Mongol Empire.

In Part One, the settlement and rule of the Vikings in Ireland, England and Greenland is discussed; in Part Two, the emphasis is instead placed on the extension of English power into the Celtic areas of Britain and the justifications presented for this enterprise, issues which are considered in more depth in Part Three.

In Part Four, the actual expansion into Ireland is treated while, in Part Five, the next phase, that of governing medieval Ireland, is considered.
