From the preface: " As the seat of the power of the Godwine family and strategically placed opposite Normandy, Sussex played an important part in the events which led up to Duke William's landing at pevensey and his triumph at Battle sixteen days later. The prominence of the county both before and during the Norman Conquest is justly commemorated in the Bayeux Tapestry where two Sussex monuments have the distinction of appearing by name: Hastings Castle and the church at Bosham. Moreover, the administrative system differs from other counties in that it was divided into five 'rapes', unique to Sussex, each under the vigilant control of a powerful lord from his castle on the coastal plain. These exceptional arrangements are evident throughout the Sussex folios of Domesday Book, and they demonstrate William's need to control this first foothold in his new kingdom, to deny its use to an imitator - and, no doubt, should events take a turn for the worse, to protect his exit."
