Empires of the Normans: Conquerors of Europe 

byLevi Roach

As Harold II, the last crowned Anglo-Saxon king of England, lay dying in Sussex, the Duke of Normandy was celebrating an unlikely victory. Using archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, Empires of the Normans moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Empires of the Normans within history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the conquerors of europe continues to shape the present.
