Book Description

Publisher's Summary
There is much more to the Norman story than the Battle of Hastings.
These descendants of the Vikings who settled in France, England, and
Italy - but were not strictly French, English, or Italian - played a
large role in creating the modern world. They were the success story
of the Middle Ages: a footloose band of individual adventurers who transformed
the face of medieval Europe. During the course of two centuries, they
launched a series of extraordinary conquests, carving out kingdoms from
the North Sea to the North African coast.
In The Normans, Lars Brownworth follows their story, from the first
shock of a Viking raid on an Irish monastery to the exile of the last
Norman Prince of Antioch. In the process, he brings to vivid life the
Norman tapestry's rich cast of characters: figures like Rollo the Walker,
William Iron-Arm, Tancred the Monkey King, and Robert Guiscard. The
Normans presents a fascinating glimpse of a time when a group of restless
adventurers had the world at their fingertips.
What the Critics Say
"Lars Brownworth's The Normans is like a gallop through the Middle Ages
on a fast warhorse. It is rare to find an author who takes on a subject
so broad and so complex, while delivering a book that is both fast-paced
and readable." (Bill Yenne, author of Julius Caesar)
