The following are NOT in my local university library (which is a bad
sign) but I'd dearly like to see them:

Predatory kinship and the creation of Norman power, 840-1066 
     Eleanor Searle

The medieval world, the Norman view 
     by Emily Albu Hanawalt.

History and community : Norman historical writing in the eleventh and
twelfth centuries / History
& community 
     Leah Shopkow.
