Barbarian and Noble - Marion Florence Lansing - Bog

Sixteen astonishing tales from European history, each dealing with a great clash between two mighty forces, described by the other either as barbarians or nobles.
Originally written for younger readers, this work tells the story of, among others, the Roman advance into Germany under General Drusus, the sack of Rome by the "barbarian" Goths under Alaric, the attack upon Europe by Attila the Hun, the inter-Gothic wars and Theodoric, the emergence of the Franks under Clovis, the wars against the Moors ("Saracens") under Roderick, the Viking invasions, St. Winfred's death at the hands of German tribes he was trying to convert to Christianity, and the great Crusade against the Muslim invasion of Palestine, led by England's Richard I.
At the end of the book, the author inserted guide notes for teachers, suggesting themes for educating the young, and further reading suggestions.
This work contains all the original text and its accompanying beautiful woodcut illustrations, and has been complete reset and digitally restored to better than original quality.
