Böcker av Nigel Saul

Newly edited documents and commentaries published in honour of one of our foremost historians of English medieval political society

Biennial volumes of new research on an eventful century coloured by the Plantagenet dynasty.

* The world of medieval chivalry is at once glamorous and violent, alluring yet alien.* Nigel Saul charts the introduction of chivalry by the Normans, the rise of the knightly class as a social elite, the fusion of chivalry with kingship in the fourteenth century and the influence of chivalry on literature, religion and architecture.

The three Richards who ruled England in the Middle Ages were among the most controversial and celebrated of its rulers. This biography shows how much the three kings had in common, apart from their names. All were younger sons, not expected to come to the throne; and all failed to leave a legitimate heir, causing instability on their deaths.
