Über diesen Titel
Dive into the captivating history of the Normans in Europe, beginning with the fierce Viking invasions that emerged from the rugged terrains and deep fjords of Scandinavia. Author Johnson vividly explores how their legends of struggle and valor, featuring frost giants and the cunning Loki, encapsulated their dual passions for resilience and warfare. These adventurous warriors swept through England, Germany, and France, navigating the continent in their shallow-draft, half-decked ships. Wherever they ventured, they proved to be formidable fighters, visionary founders, and skilled administrators. Meet iconic figures such as Rollo the Ganger, Harald Bluetooth, and Sven Forkbeard, along with their legendary descendants William the Conqueror, the reckless William Rufus, the ill-fated crusader Robert, and the shrewd King Henry. - Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.Copyright Science Fiction Collection Sozialwissenschaften Welt Wissenschaft

    Chronicles of America Volume 10 by Conquest of New France-George Wrong.

    The English colonies, holding a great stretch of the Atlantic seaboard, increased in number and power. New France also grew stronger. The steady hostility of the rivals never wavered. There was, indeed, little open warfare as long as the two Crowns remained at peace. From 1660 to 1688, the Stuart rulers of England remained subservient to their cousin the Bourbon King of France and at one with him in religious faith. But after the fall of the Stuarts France bitterly denounced the new King, William of Orange, as both a heretic and a usurper, and attacked the English in America with a savage fury unknown in Europe. From 1690 to 1760 the combatants fought with little more than pauses for renewed preparation, and the conflict ended only when France yielded to England the mastery of her empire in America.
