Description
Throughout the 11th and 12th centuries the Norman knight was possibly the most feared warrior in Western Europe.
He was descended originally from the Vikings who had settled in Northern France under their leader Rollo in or around 911 at the behest of Charles the Simple and throughout the following centuries they remembered and built on their warlike reputation.
This book explores their military prowess throughout the known world, from conquering Sicily in 1060 and England in 1066 to playing a major part in the First Crusade.
