Capetians and Plantagenets. Leopard versus Lily
14.99 €
England and France. The major confrontation of the Middle Ages, originating with two of the most powerful families in western Europe, the Capetings and Plantagenets. Their three-hundred-year feud mixed bravery, betrayal, jealousy, reckless love, and a clash between Louis VII and Henry II. Known for her beauty and unbridled temper, the Duchess of Aquitaine became the apple of discord. Alienora of Aquitaine, twice queen and the most powerful woman, was a key figure in two Western European dynasties at once, giving rise to great power rivalries. So why did the Duchess favor Henry II? How did the Capetippines ascend to the French throne? How were Edward I and Philip III related? What was the end of the Third Crusade? What are the undercurrents of the privileges of the Great Charter of Liberties and who was left in charge of the outcome of the major bloodshed of the Middle Ages? An age of chivalry, Templars, intrigue, the Black Death and the founding of Parliament. The story of the English leopard and the French lily.
