Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Henry the Second' is a comprehensive historical biography that explores the life and transformative reign of one of England's most formidable monarchs. Written by Alice Stopford Green, this study delves into the political and administrative genius of the first Plantagenet king, whose influence reshaped the English landscape in the 12th century. The work focuses on Henry's tireless efforts to centralize royal authority, his foundational role in the development of the English Common Law, and the establishment of the jury system.The narrative provides a detailed account of the King's vast continental holdings, known as the Angevin Empire, and the challenges of governing a diverse territory stretching from Scotland to the Pyrenees. Central to the work is the dramatic and tragic conflict between Henry and his former friend, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, which highlights the struggle between the crown and the medieval church. Through careful analysis, the author portrays a man of restless energy and immense intellect, whose legal and judicial reforms provided the backbone for the modern English state.
