By Martin Aurell

Book Overview

In this new translation by David Crouch Martin Aurell revives the passion and politics, revolts and reversals of the Plantagenet Empire.Aurell's superb knowledge of the complex sources for the period uncovers a world of sophisticated decision making and modern political manoeuvring: a world where political spin and propaganda were deliberately employed by Plantagenet Kings in ideological warfare against their rivals. This book focuses on how an Empire racked with conflict survived for seventy years: it is a study of power at its source. Ideal for students studying the Angevin Empire as part of a medieval history course.
