David Douglas THE NORMANS Folio Society 2002

First folio printing slipcased hardback of THE NORMANS by David C. Douglas and published by The Folio Society in 2002.

The book is in near fine condition (blue cloth boards with gilt decoration to front and spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a near fine slipcase that also has no wear to speak of.

The Normans was first published as two separate volumes: The Norman Achievement, 1050-1100 and The Norman Fate, 1100-1154. The text of this combined, single volume follows that of the first editions with minor emendations.

The Normans were a phenomenon in the Europe of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. In the whole course of European history there have been few movements more remarkable than the sudden expansion of Norman power during this period. They conquered England, extended their dominions in Italy and Sicily, carried their interests into Spain, sided with the papacy at a critical period in the history of Christendom, embedded themselves in the politics of Byzantium and played a special role in the First Crusade.

560 pages including Maps, Select Genealogies, Schedule of Selected Dates, Contemporary Rulers, Suggestions for Further Reading and Index, plus List of Illustrations and Introduction.
