Description

The Burgundians: A Vanished Empire A masterful history of the great dynasty of the Netherlands' Middle Ages, this book tells the story of a thousand years of ambitious aristocrats, family dysfunction, treachery, and savage battles. From the decline of knightly ideals to the awakening of individualism and the emergence of great art and architecture, this narrative history explores the struggle for dominance in northern Europe. At the heart of this extraordinary realm lies a complex web of dynastic struggles, fatally bad marriages, and bloody military campaigns. Yet, despite the violence and chaos, great music and culture emerged, enriching the region's heritage. This is a compelling and deeply researched account of a vanished empire, one that sheds light on the cradle of what we now know as the Low Countries, modern Belgium, and the Netherlands.
