This book is in very good condition. The cover is rubbed at the edges but otherwise is bright. Inside, the binding is tight. The pages are clean but display some light rubbing to the edges. 150 years after the Norman Conquest, history came within a hair's breadth of repeating itself. In 1216, taking advantage of the turmoil created in England by King John's inept rule, Prince Louis of France invaded England and allied with English rebels. The prize was the crown of England. Within months Louis had seized control of one-third of the country, including London. This is the first book to cover the bloody events of the invasion, one of the most dramatic but most overlooked episodes of British history.
