Here, the lives of French Queens of England such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella the 'She-Wolf of France' and Catherine de Valois are described with fresh insight. Meanwhile, the non-famous French people, who nonetheless shaped the culture of England's capital are honoured with a thorough study of their cultural habits. From William the Conqueror through to London as the capital of the Free French during World War Two, this book honours a large but little-studied people; the French in London.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Isabelle Janvrin and Catherine Rawlinson were both born and brought up in France, both studied art and history, and both married Englishmen. After many years in London, they combined their interests in history and art history to research the presence of French people in this vast city.
