书籍简介

一个新贵的法国公爵，他开始征服Christendom中z强大和统一的王国。自罗马时代以来，规模之大的入侵力量从未见过。有史以来最血腥和最具决定性的战斗之一。这本引人入胜的书解释了为什么诺曼征服是英国历史上最重要的事件。

马克·莫里斯每时每刻都在评估原始证据，他超越了熟悉的轮廓，解释了为什么英格兰既如此强大又如此容易受到征服者威廉的攻击。为什么诺曼人在某些方面不太成熟，但却拥有军事前沿。威廉对统一盎格鲁-诺曼王国的希望如何破灭，却因英国叛乱、维京人入侵和其他征服者的永不满足的要求而破灭。这是一个关于强大的戏剧性、镇压和地震式社会变革的故事：黑斯廷斯战役本身和暴力的“北方哈里斯”；城堡的突然引进和每个主要教堂的大规模重建；一个古老的统治阶级的彻底毁灭。诺曼人的到来永远改变了语言、法律、建筑，甚至对生活本身的态度。

马克·莫里斯 (Marc Morris) 是爱德华一世 (Edward I, A Great and Terrible King) 畅销传记的作者，他以同样的热情、热情和对历史准确性的一丝不苟地关注征服。这是对我们这个时代的一个非凡故事的最终描述，这是塑造英国民族的关键时刻。

An upstart French duke who sets out to conquer the most powerful and unified kingdom in Christendom. An invasion force on a scale not seen since the days of the Romans. One of the bloodiest and most decisive battles ever fought. This riveting book explains why the Norman Conquest was the single most important event in English history.

Assessing the original evidence at every turn, Marc Morris goes beyond the familiar outline to explain why England was at once so powerful and yet so vulnerable to William the Conqueror's attack. Why the Normans, in some respects less sophisticated, possessed the military cutting edge. How William's hopes of a united Anglo-Norman realm unravelled, dashed by English rebellions, Viking invasions and the insatiable demands of his fellow conquerors. This is a tale of powerful drama, repression and seismic social change: the Battle of Hastings itself and the violent 'Harrying of the North'; the sudden introduction of castles and the wholesale rebuilding of every major church; the total destruction of an ancient ruling class. Language, law, architecture, even attitudes towards life itself were altered forever by the coming of the Normans.

Marc Morris, author of the bestselling biography of Edward I, A Great and Terrible King, approaches the Conquest with the same passion, verve and scrupulous concern for historical accuracy. This is the definitive account for our times of an extraordinary story, a pivotal moment in the shaping of the English nation.

每个小学生都知道，或者过去都知道，1066年是英国历史上最重要的日子。 但正如马克·莫里斯在这本非常有趣的书中指出的，诺曼征服比我们通常认为的更加暴力、复杂和模糊。 他小心地引导读者通过党派和经常相互矛盾的资料，生动地描绘了复杂的盎格鲁-撒克逊王国的崩溃，并展示了征服者威廉如何依靠纯粹的恐怖来建立他的统治。 甚至连一位诺曼编年史家都承认，威廉“无情地屠杀”了英国人，“就像上帝为他们的罪恶而惩罚他们一样”。 ——多米尼克·桑德布鲁克  

As every schoolboy knows, or used to, 1066 is the most important date in English history. But as Marc Morris points out in this enormously enjoyable book, the Norman conquest was much more violent, complicated and ambiguous then we usually think. Carefully steering the reader through the partisan and often contradictory sources, he paints a vivid picture of the collapse of the sophisticated Anglo-Saxon realm, and shows how William the Conqueror relied on sheer terror to establish his reign. Even a Norman chronicler admitted that William had "mercilessly slaughtered" the English, "like the scourge of God smiting them for their sins. -- Dominic Sandbrook *
