Titelbeschreibung

The coming of the Normans to Ireland from 1169 is a pivotal moment in the country's history. It is a period full of bloodthirsty battles, both between armies and individuals. With colourful personalities and sharp political twists and turns, Strongbow's story is a fascinating one.
Combining the writing style of an award-winning novelist with expert scholarship, historian Conor Kostick has written a powerful and absorbing book about the Normans in Ireland, and the stormy affairs of an extraordinary era.
