Review
"significant and useful...important to anyone interested in King Richard, the history of the various territories under his control, or the study of medieval government" Albion "This book is both useful and important." H-net reviews
Product Description
This ground-breaking and substantive new history considers Richard's reign from a perspective that is as much French as English. Viewing the king himself as a great military commander, it also shows him as a more competent administrator than previously acknowledged. Modern revisionist work allows the authors to correct many misconceptions about Richard's French possessions, and recent scholarship on his rival, Philip Augustus, permits examination of the formidable threat that the resurgent Capetian monarchy represented.
