About the book >.>.> This manuscript, titled Gesta Stephani, recounts the civil war between Stephen and Matilda from the perspective of an eyewitness who supported Stephen's cause. The narrative provides a detailed account of the events and conflicts during a tumultuous period in English history. The author of this manuscript has been identified as Robert, Bishop of Bath, through the insights of Professor Davis, a prominent authority on Stephen. K R Potter's edition presents an intriguing exploration of the political and military struggles faced by both factions. Through the eyes of a supporter of Stephen, the text offers a rich, first-hand perspective that captures the tensions and complexities of the era. The manuscript not only details key battles and alliances but also delves into the personal motivations and aspirations of its central figures. The reading experience of Gesta Stephani is enhanced by the context provided in Professor Davis's introduction, which illuminates the significance of the bishop's perspective and situates the work within the broader narrative of the civil war. This edition appeals to historians and enthusiasts of medieval history, presenting a unique voice from a critical juncture in England's past. Its detailed recounting allows readers to engage with the historical intricacies of the conflict while appreciating the personal biases and allegiances that shaped its outcome. Through this manuscript, readers gain valuable insights into the civil war's profound impact on the English monarchy and its legacy. N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM718-G-14493
