Summary

"When Hugh Capet took the throne of France in 987, his kingdom was weak and insignificant, but from an auspicious beginning he founded a dynasty that was to last over 300 years and came to dominate western Europe." "Capetian France is an authoritative overview of the country's development from 987 to 1328. This carefully updated second edition contains maps and family trees, and retains the original book's popular balance between a compelling narrative and a fascinating examination of the period's main themes."--Jacket.
