Review Quotes: This book is exceptionally easy to read, quite probably the result of the 'silent and dedicated work' of Prisca Toftegaard in translation. The text flows beautifully and does justice to a fine and often fascinating set of studies which open up a wealth of French and Iberian research to English-speaking audiences.--MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY
