The Normans
2022
Overview
A bold new history of the rise and expansion of the Norman
Dynasty across Europe from Byzantium to England In the
eleventh century the climate was improving, population was growing,
and people were on the move. The Norman dynasty ranged across
Europe, led by men who achieved lasting fame like William the
Conqueror and Robert Guiscard. These figures cultivated an image of
unstoppable Norman success and their victories make for a great
story, but how much of it is true? In this insightful history,
Judith Green challenges old certainties and explores the reality of
Norman life across the continent. There were many soldiers of
fortune, but their successes were down to timing, good luck, and
ruthless leadership. Green shows the Normans' profound impact, from
drastic change in England to laying the foundations for unification
in Sicily, to their contribution to the First Crusade. Going beyond
the familiar, she looks at personal dynastic relationships and the
important part women played in what at first sight seems a
resolutely masculine world.
