From pirates blindly negotiating the cloying mists of the lower Rhine the name Frank became synonymous with empire and the creation of France. Born of a flower of the river the Franks adoption of the Fleur de Lys became an emblem of dynasties and kings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUtilising the family line the work debates issues of moral conduct, subjugation, the civilizing process and its effect upon equal and fair society. As the story unfolds so more of the reality of the Franks as a family are revealed. In many ways mere ordinary folk, by their mien theirs is a tale of more than just ordinary people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe early revelation of a little known knight, retinue of Robert de Brus forbearer to the Scottish throne, Robertus Francais and his brother knights follow the Norman Conquest across Britain. As the story of the Franks arrival in Yorkshire and dispersal across the north unfold so we see disparate battles, bloodshed, land-grabs, famine and glory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a fascinating read, a true story of the past written into the landscape of today and all the tomorrows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 424\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 04, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48366765474041,"sku":"9781999595401","price":43.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/PbdBmLfsjX9781999595401.webp?v=1778166042","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-extraordinary-franks-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
