Bisson, Thomas N., The Medieval Crown of Aragon: a short history, Oxford, Clarendon, 1986, viii + 239 pp. + [8] pp. de làm.
- Resum
- This book is the first in English in more than half a century to survey this history of a great Mediterranean federation whose homelands were Catalonia and Aragon. Based on recent research, it seeks to convey a sense of the energy, drama, and colour of a creative and expansionist people between the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries. T. N. Bisson lays due stress on individual achievement and personality, while at the same time providing a balanced survey of political and dynastic evolution, institutional foundations, economic and cultural matters, and the socio-economic weaknesses which led eventually to a crisis in the federated realms of the late Middle Ages.
