Brève description / annotation

This medieval journey reveals a little-known world. Through discoveries, research, and readings of ancient works, these exploits come back to life. Somerled, Lord of the Isles; John de Courcy, conqueror of Ulster; Aubrey and John de Vere, Earls of England; Roger de Hauteville in Italy and his descendant Frederick II Hohenstaufen take us on a pilgrimage of memory filled with blood and wonder. Between battles and architectural, artistic, and scientific creations, fierce struggles bear witness to the power of a civilization whose extraordinary creative momentum surprises us at every turn. It is difficult to choose from the immense legacy of these exceptional achievements.
