Norman Davies
One of our greatest historians unlocks the story of Europe’s hidden past, a series of alternatives to the familiar map. In Vanished Kingdoms: The History of a Half-Forgotten Europe, Norman redraws frontiers and remembers the possibilities of the past. The Kingdom of Strathclyde endured for almost 8 centuries, Aragon attempted to rule the Mediterranean, Burgundy was once much more than the name of great wine and the Republic of Ruthenia lasted only one day. These are amazing stories, told with a characteristic eye for telling detail. The last of the Vanishing Kingdoms was of course the USSR. Who is to say that the United Kingdom will last?
