Storia0
In ihrem ersten Sachbuch erzählt uns die Bestsellerautorin Rebecca Gable die Geschichte des englischen Mittelalters neu: kompetent und informativ, herrlich farbenprächtig und mitreiß wie ein Roman, und immer mit einem Schmunzeln. Lesen Sie, wie die Wikinger in Ermangelung anderer Hobbys Englanderoberten, unabsichtlich unterstützt vom englischen König Thelred, dessen Ruf seitdem ruiniert ist.

The dramatic and shocking events of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 are to be the backdrop to Juliet Barker's latest book: a snapshot of what everyday life was like for ordinary people living in the middle ages. The same highly successful techniques she deployed in Agincourt and Conquest will this time be brought to bear on civilian society.

Storia0
In this landmark study of Agincourt, prize-winning author Juliet Barker draws upon a huge range of sources, published and unpublished, English and French, to give a compelling account of a battle upon which so many legends have been built. But she also looks behind the action on the field to paint a portrait of the age. A mad king, murderous dukes, scheming bishops, knightly heroes, surgeons, heralds, spies, and pirates: the story of Agincourt has them all.

In Chaucer's People, Liza Picard guides us through the tumultuous world of the late 14th century in an ingenious, informative and entertaining way. Through the assorted cast of pilgrims Chaucer selected for The Canterbury Tales, Picard brings medieval social history to life and uncovers the detail behind Chaucer's poetic portraits. These are the lives lived beyond the court circles frequented by most of his well-heeled audience.

The official inside story of the life, death and remarkable discovery of history's most controversial monarch. On 22 August 1485 Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field, the last king of England to die in battle. His victorious opponent, Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII), went on to found one of our most famous ruling dynasties. Richard's body was displayed in undignified fashion for two days in nearby Leicester and then hurriedly buried in the church of the Greyfriars.

Von Kämpfen, Eroberungen und Neuanfängen: G/Geschichte taucht in dieser Ausgabe ein in die Zeit des Ersten Kreuzzugs, in der ein christliches Heer aus Kreuzrittern sich aufmachte, Palästina einzunehmen, was 1099 mit der brutalen Einnahme Jerusalems endete. Aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln wird gezeigt, wie aus religiösem Fanatismus, Machthunger, aber auch einer Prise Idealismus eine neue Welt entstand.

3 berühmte Sagen, Lohengrin, Parzival und Tannhäuser, hier einmal nicht als Wagner-Opern, sondern als Erzählungen vertont. "Lohengrin": Über dem Lande Brabant, wo der Scheldestrom sich mit dem Rhein ins weite Nordmeer ergießt, lastete tiefe Trauer, denn Herzog Gottfried, der weise und gerechte Herrscher, lag im Sterben. Der hinterhältige Telramund will Elsa das Erbe streitig machen. Der jugendliche Ritter Lohengrin tritt beim Gottesgericht für sie ein.

A young pretender raises an army to take the throne. Learning of his father’s death, the adolescent, dashing and charismatic and descended from the old kings of the North, vows to avenge him. He is supported in this war by his mother, who has spirited away her two younger sons to safety. Against them is the queen, passionate, proud, and strong-willed and with more of the masculine virtues of the time than most men. She too is battling for the inheritance of her young son, not yet fully grown but already a sadist who takes delight in watching executions.

In 1187 Saladin's armies besieged the holy city of Jerusalem. He had previously annihilated Jerusalem's army at the battle of Hattin, and behind the city's high walls a last-ditch defence was being led by an unlikely trio - including Sibylla, Queen of Jerusalem. They could not resist Saladin, but, if they were lucky, they could negotiate terms that would save the lives of the city's inhabitants.
