The Western Mediterranean Kingdoms (eBook, PDF)

The Struggle for Dominion, 1200-1500

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A pioneering account of the dynastic struggle between the kings of Aragon and the Angevin kings of Naples, which shaped the commercial as well as the political map of the Mediterranean and had a profound effect on the futures of Spain, France, Italy and Sicily. David Abulafia does it full justice, reclaiming from undeserved neglect one of the formative themes in the history of the Middle Ages.
