Diplomacy over Force... Every Time,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Capetian Kings of France: Monarchy and Nation 987-1328 (Paperback)
Well written (though translated from the french) introduction to the capetian kings of france. Appears on "Cantors 150" list of books about the middle ages. Interesting to see how the practice of diplomacy, not the use of force, was critical in establishing the territorial boundaries of the french nation. Maybe our own leaders could benefit from reading this book? Loses a couple of "stars" for being overly schematic in organization and deadly dull.
Has some nice pull out maps of france in the middle ages.

Good starting point on the Capetian dynasty,

This review is from: The Capetian Kings of France: Monarchy and Nation 987-1328 (Paperback)
The fourteen Capetian kings produced the founders of or heirs to most of the duchies and counties of France, so this well-written but nontechnical work in fact covers a lot of territory. Royal and noble marriages being political events, a fair amount of meaty genealogy appears throughout (and with the advantage of context). A good introduction for anyone considering the serious study of medieval France.
