Georges Duby

William Marshal (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Georges Duby, one of this century's great medieval historians, has brought to life with exceptional brilliance and imagination William Marshal, adviser to the Plantagenets, knight extraordinaire, the flower of chivalry. A marvel of historical reconstruction, William Marshal is based on a biographical poem written in the thirteenth century, and offers an evocation of chivalric life-the contests and tournaments, the rites of war, the daily details of medieval existence-unlike any we have ever seen.
