Edward Augustus Freeman (2 August 1823 - 16 March 1892) was an English historian. His reputation as a historian rests largely on his History of the Norman Conquest (18671876), his longest completed book. In common with his works generally, it is distinguished by exhaustiveness of treatment and research, critical ability, a remarkable degree of accuracy, and a certain insight into the past which he gained from his practical experience of men and institutions. He is in the main a medieval and constitutional historian.
