This article analyses the provision of military service by English barons in the wars in Normandy between 1194 and 1204, a topic that has not previously been examined in any depth. It demonstrates that an important section of the English baronage provided regular military service in Normandy, driven by their own personal interests in the duchy and the pursuit of royal favour and rewards. It concludes that these barons were not fundamentally opposed to providing service overseas, and that this was not a factor in the loss of Normandy, but became an important political lever in their conflict with King John.

雷吉斯服务中的超级母马：英国男爵和诺曼底的防御，1194-1204

本文分析了 1194 年至 1204 年诺曼底战争中英国贵族提供的兵役，这是一个以前没有深入研究过的话题。它表明，英国贵族的一个重要部分在诺曼底提供了常规兵役，由他们在公国的个人利益和追求王室的恩惠和奖励所驱动。它的结论是，这些男爵并没有从根本上反对在海外提供服务，这不是失去诺曼底的因素，而是成为他们与约翰国王冲突的重要政治杠杆。
