Conquest: the Legendary Life of the Normans (set of 3 Volumes)

About This Novel

Describes another "Norman Conquest" that took place in Italy during the Middle Ages. In the 11th century, the Normans living in France came to southern Italy by chance. They were originally mercenaries, but gradually became an important political force. They continued to grow in the complex political situation of southern Italy, and finally unified southern Italy and Sicily, and established the Kingdom of Sicily in the 12th century. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Sicily, it was once a powerful country in the Mediterranean region. It profoundly affected the political situation in Italy and even sent troops to fight overseas. The kingdom prospered in an atmosphere of tolerance. However, the Norman dynasty only lasted for about 60 years, and finally perished in tragic circumstances. The Norman Conquest was probably one of the most important military and cultural events in English history. With the arrival of the Normans in England, England, an ancient and new country, took on new vitality. Whether it was language, architecture, military or law, there were sweeping changes within England. So how did the Normans change all that? Why is this change so radical? Mark Morris combs through the historical events before and after the Norman Conquest in extremely detailed strokes, and outlines a new picture of the Norman Conquest. After comparing various evidences, he uses vivid and fluent language to tell readers how England has been integrated into European cultural traditions, and how this has affected the historical process of England.
