THE MEDIEVAL CROWN OF ARAGON

The first study of its kind in English in more than fifty years, this book surveys the history of the medieval Crown of Aragon from its early origins in counties of the eastern Pyrenees. Reviewing the most recent research into the well-preserved archives of the re gion, Bisson recreates a sense of the energy, drama, and color of these creative and expansionist people between the 12th and 15th c enturies.
