In 987, when Hugh Capet took the throne of France, founding a
dynasty which was to rule for over 300 years, his kingdom was weak
and insignificant. But by 1100, the kingdom of France was beginning
to dominate the cultural nd religious life of western Europe. In
the centuries that followed, to scholars and to poets, to reforming
churchmen and monks, to crusaders and the designers of churches,
France was the hub of the universe. La douce France drew people
like a magnet even though its kings were, until about 1200,
comparatively insignificant figures. Then, thanks to the conquests
and reforms of King Philip Augustus, France became a dominant force
in political and economic terms as well, producing a saint-king,
Louis IX, and in Philip IV, a ruler so powerful that he could
dictate to popes and emperors. Spanning France's development across
four centuries, Capetian France is a definitive book. This second
edition has been carefully revised to take account of the very
latest work, without losing the original book's popular balance
between a compelling narrative and an fascinating examination of
the period's main themes.
