Framlingham castle in the mist adorns the dustjacket of Marc Morris's new study of Roger III (c.1209–1270) and his nephew and successor Roger IV (c.1245–1306), earls of Norfolk and ‘Marshal of England’, a reminder that the Bigods were originally East Anglian landlords who rose to comital rank through royal service in the twelfth century. The thirteenth-century earls would doubtless have preferred the even more splendid image of their buildings at Chepstow castle or Ballymoon, Co. Carlow, for by accidents of marriage and death, especially the demise of the Marshals in the 1240s, the family were catapulted to the front rank of aristocracy, their estates scattered over England, the Welsh marches and Ireland, crowned with the dignity of ‘earl marshal’ in 1246. This book is mostly a political narrative, admirably thorough and full of new things, charting the thirteenth-century Bigod earls’ relationship with the Crown. Roger III
