The Normans: A History of Conquest

The Normans: A History of Conquest

Trevor Rowley

Pegasus Books
2022
nidottu
A powerful and evocative portrait of the Norman Conquest of Europe, revealing the permanent cultural and political legacy that resulted in their ascendency. The Norman's conquering of the known world was a phenomenon unlike anything Europe had seen up to that point in history. They emerged early in the tenth century but had disappeared from world affairs 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 in North Africa. Moreover, they had an extraordinary ability to adapt as time and place dictated, taking on the role of 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.

Mabel Normand: A Source Book to Her Life and Films (8th edition)

Over two decades in the making, Mabel Normand: A Source Book to Her Life and Films (8th edition), although primarily a collection of contemporary magazine and newspaper articles about silent film comedienne Mabel Normand; also includes an introductory biography, essays on her film work, interviews with fellow actresses Minta Durfee Arbuckle and Anita Garvin, an appendix section specifically examining the William Desmond Taylor case, comprehensive Filmography, and Bibliography. "This mammoth book is not a 'biography, ' although it is filled with biographical material. As the title indicates, it is a 'source book to her life and films, ' and as such is far more valuable than any mere biography. Buy it, read it, treasure it..." Bruce Long, author of "William Desmond Taylor: A Dossier" "Mabel Normand: A Source Book to Her Life and Films deserves wide readership. No reference library should be without it. It is a gallant and eminently worthwhile attempt to resurrect Mabel Normand to her rightful place in film history." Anthony Slide, film critic and historian.

Born in June 1922, in Baden, Richard Freiherr von Rosen was to become a true Panzer man. Coming from a noble family, although he wasn’t attracted by war, he nonetheless started an officer’s career. At 18, he was incorporated into the Panzer-Ersatz-Abteilung 35. A rigorous period, after which he spent a few months of occupation in South West France before getting his baptism of fire in a Panzer III during the attack against the USSR, at the end of June 1941. Wounded a few weeks later then recovered, at the beginning of 1942, he joined the famous Wunsdorf armour school out of which he graduated as a Leutnant. In January 1943, von Rosen joined the schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502, equipped with brand new Tiger tanks in which he served on the harsh Eastern Front, in the Kalmuks Plain, before being transferred to the powerful s.Pz-Abt.503 as Zugführer. There, Baron von Rosen went through several bitter armoured confrontations to the south of Kursk, then long months of fighting across the Ukraine into Galicia in the spring of 1944, endlessly confronting the masses of Red Army T-34s. A few weeks after D-Day, the “503” was sent to Normandy where von Rosen and his “Tigers” were hit full blast by Operation Goodwood, to the east of Caen : fierce fighting against British tanks at Emiéville and Manneville. Losses were heavy and the Anglo-American superiority was crushing… Von Rosen and his battalion were withdrawn from the Normandy front, got back in condition, and then issued with new monsters, the “Königstigers”.
