The Mighty Warrior Kings: From the Ashes of the Roman Empire to the New Ruling Order Kindle Edition

by Philip J. Potter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 13 ratings
From the restoration of the western Roman empire by Charlemagne to the battles of Robert the Bruce for Scottish independence, The Mighty Warrior Kings brings to life the epic victories and struggles of nine kings, whose reigns changed the course of European history.

The Mighty Warrior Kings traces the history of early Europe through the biographies of nine kings, who had the courage, determination and martial might to establish their dominance over the fragmented remnants of the Roman Empire. The book begins with Charlemagne, who united large regions of current-day France, Germany and Italy into the Holy Roman Empire and ends with Robert the Bruce, who gallantry defended Scotland against the attempted usurpation of England. There are many famous warrior kings in the book, including Alfred the Great of Wessex, whose victories over the Vikings led to the unification of England under a single ruler, William I of Normandy, whose triumph at Hastings in 1066 changed the course of English history, while Frederick I Barbarossa led his army to victory in Germany and Italy solidifying and expanding the lands under the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor. Among the lesser known monarchs discussed in the work are Cnut, whose victory at the battle of Ashingdon won the English crown and resulted in the creation of the North Sea Empire, which ruled over the kingdoms of England, Denmark and Norway, while during the reign of Louis IX of France the knights of Europe answered his call for the Seven Crusade to expel the Muslims from the Holy City of Jerusalem. From Charlemagne to Robert the Bruce, the warrior kings created a new Europe with a centralized power base and set the stage for the following Age of Absolutism.

    2.0 out of 5 stars There were some righteous warrior kings
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021
    This is a great book if you want to be given a series of "first he did this", "and then he did that" followed by "and then he did something else". One thing that you can be certain of is that the subject of any chapter is a fantastic person who did a lot of things.

    I am giving it 2 stars because there are a lot of facts presented that are correct based upon reading other books. Do not read it if you want any insight into why these facts are important.

    The author is correct that these are significant people in the march of civilization. Just do not expect to be given any reason as to why.
