Review of 'The Normans' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
An easily read narrative of the rise and influence of Norman power in Europe. It tells a tale of the great figures of the Norman world and their contribution to the eventual unity of Europe centuries later. The story of the greatest of the Normans is the story of Europe in the Middle Ages that eventually led to the Renaissance and the forging of the democratic nation-state ruled by a system of laws.
