The Capetians by Jim Bradbury
Following the demise of the Carolingian dynasty in 987 the French lords chose Hugh Capet as their king. He was the founder of a dynasty that lasted until 1328. Although for much of this time, the French kings were weak, and the kingdom of France was much smaller than it later became, the Capetians nevertheless had considerable achievements and also produced outstanding rulers, including Philip Augustus and St Louis. This wide-ranging book throws fascinating light on the history of Medieval France and the development of European monarchy.
"Bradbury's text is a delightful read.. Bradbury has a wonderful sense of humour ... The text is complete. It fleshes out the important, or lack thereof, of each Capetian." Richard Cusimano
