Beskrivelse af A History Of The House Of Percy
A History of the House of Percy: From the Earliest Time Down to the Present Century Volume 1 is a comprehensive account of the history of the Percy family, one of the most prominent and influential noble families in England. Written by historian Gerald Brenan, the book covers the period from the earliest times to the present day, tracing the family's origins, rise to power, and enduring legacy.The book begins with an overview of the family's early history, including their origins in Normandy and their migration to England after the Norman Conquest. It then examines the family's role in the Wars of the Roses, their involvement in the Tudor court, and their crucial role in the English Civil War.Throughout the book, Brenan provides detailed accounts of the various members of the Percy family, including their marriages, political alliances, and military campaigns. He also explores the family's cultural and artistic contributions, including their patronage of literature, music, and the visual arts.In addition to its historical content, A History of the House of Percy is also a fascinating study of the evolution of English society and politics over the centuries. Brenan's engaging writing style and meticulous research make this book a must-read for anyone interested in English history, genealogy, or the lives of the aristocracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
