Broschiert / Paperback. Condition: Sehr gut. Reprint from1976. 144 Seiten, Abb. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - The Norman epic has come down to us as one of the greatest, and most compelling, stories in the history of Europe. Descended from the Scandinavian Northmen who were granted the Duchy in 911, the Normans expanded and consolidated their power in a series of brilliant conquests. At Hastings in 1066, it was almost as if a single day's fighting gave the country a new dynasty, a new aristocracy, a virtually new Church, a new art, a new architecture and a new language. In Italy, small, initially penniless groups of Norman mercenaries won rich, populous, strategically important tertitories and fostered a remarkable civilization blending Latin, Creek and Arabic elements - a sort of intellectual clearing-house between East and West. -- Ever since the achievements of the Normans were first praised by their own historians, it has been assumed that they were part of a unified, common design, a saga of a distinct Norman race. In a fascinating piece of historical detective work, R.H.C. Davis examines the myth behind this assumption, demonstrating the alarming way in which a few eloquent chroniclers can 'make' history, and how a myth, once accepted, can influence people and events.
