This book paints a vivid picture of Rouen across time, from its humble beginnings as a settlement on the Seine to the vibrant city it became in the Middle Ages. The author explores the many layers of the town's physical, social, and political development, tracing Rouen's evolution through the Roman Empire, the Frankish era, and English occupation. Delving into original sources such as medieval manuscripts and contemporary accounts, the author presents a rich tapestry of voices, from common laborers to dukes, bishops, and the tragic figures of Fredegond and Brunhilda. Through these voices, the book reveals how each era indelibly shaped Rouen, leaving traces that can still be seen today. This deeply researched and engagingly written book offers readers a unique perspective on a city that has witnessed centuries of conflict, intrigue, and cultural flourishing.
