Omschrijving

Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy is a historical biography written by David Charles Wendell. The book explores the life and reign of Robert Curthose, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, who inherited the Duchy of Normandy after his father's death. The book begins with a brief overview of William the Conqueror's conquest of England and the subsequent division of his lands among his sons. It then delves into Robert's upbringing, his relationship with his father, and his early years as Duke of Normandy. The majority of the book focuses on Robert's reign as Duke of Normandy, which was marked by a series of conflicts and challenges. Wendell describes Robert's struggles to maintain control over his duchy, including his conflicts with his younger brother William Rufus, who inherited the English throne. The book also explores Robert's involvement in the First Crusade, his imprisonment by his brother Henry I, and his eventual death in captivity. Throughout the book, Wendell provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of Robert Curthose, painting him as a complex and often misunderstood figure in medieval history. Overall, Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy is a well-researched and engaging biography that sheds light on an often-overlooked figure in medieval history. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Normandy, the Norman Conquest, or medieval Europe more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
