Charles I of Anjou (1225-85), brother of St Louis, was one of the
most controversial figures of thirteenth-century Europe. A royal
adventurer, who carved out a huge Mediterranean power block, as
ruler of Provence, Jerusalem and the kingdom of Naples as well as
Anjou, he changed for good the political configuration of the
Mediterranean world - even though his ambitions were fatally
undermined by the revolt of the Sicilian Vespers. Jean Dunbabin's
study - the first in English for 40 years - reassesses Charles's
extraordinary career, his pivotal role in the crusades and in
military reform, trading, diplomacy, learning and the arts, and
finds a more remarkable figure than the ruthless thug of
conventional historiography.
