The Normans were a relatively short-lived phenomenon. They emerged
early in the tenth century but had disappeared off the map by the
mid-thirteenth century. Yet in that time they had conquered
England, Ireland, much of Wales and parts of Scotland. They also
founded a new Mediterranean kingdom in southern Italy and Sicily,
as well as a Crusader state in the Holy Land and an outpost in
North Africa. Moreover, they had an extraordinary ability to adapt
as time and place dictated, from Norse invaders to Frankish
crusaders, from Byzantine overlords to feudal monarchs. Drawing on
archaeological and historical evidence, Trevor Rowley offers a
comprehensive picture of the Normans and argues that despite the
short time span of Norman ascendancy, it is clear that they were
responsible for a permanent cultural and political legacy.
