Brief History of the Normans

The history of the Normans began long before 1066 A.D. Originating from the "Norsemen," they were one of the most successful warrior tribes of the Dark Ages dominating Europe from the Baltic Sea to the island of Sicily and the borders of Eastern Europe. As a military force they were unstoppable; as conquerors, they established their own kingdom in Normandy from where they set out on a number of devastating campaigns, as well as introduced innovations in politics, architecture and culture.Neveux, Francois is the author of 'Brief History of the Normans', published 2008 under ISBN 9780762433711 and ISBN 076243371X.
