The Reign of Richard Lionheart : Ruler of The Angevin Empire, 1189-1199, Paperback / softback Book

The Reign of Richard Lionheart : Ruler of The Angevin Empire, 1189-1199 Paperback / softback

Part of the The Medieval World series

Paperback / softback

Description

This ground-breaking and substantive new history considers Richard's reign from a perspective that is as much French as English.

Viewing the king himself as a great military commander, it also shows him as a more competent administrator than previously acknowledged.

Modern revisionist work allows the authors to correct many misconceptions about Richard's French possessions, and recent scholarship on his rival, Philip Augustus, permits examination of the formidable threat that the resurgent Capetian monarchy represented.
