Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating history of the Dukes of Normandy, a pivotal chapter in European history. The author meticulously examines the rise of Rollo, the Viking leader who conquered Neustria and established the duchy of Normandy, and the turbulent reigns of his successors. The book explores the Norse origins of the Norman dynasty, their initial incursions into France, and the gradual transformation of these fierce warriors into a powerful ruling class. Through a rich tapestry of historical accounts, the author illuminates the evolution of Norman society from a band of ruthless pirates to a sophisticated and influential power. The work explores the clash of cultures, the transition from paganism to Christianity, and the complex political landscape of medieval France. The author sheds light on the intricate power struggles that shaped the duchy, including the assassination of William Longsword, the fragile regency of his young son Richard, and the constant threat from the French monarchy. The book offers a fascinating insight into the origins of the Normans, their role in shaping the destiny of France, and their eventual conquest of England.
