The Plantagenets: Norman and European heritage

Meeting with Amaury Chauou and Nicholas Vincent

What legacy did Richard the Lionheart, Henry II Plantagenet, or John Lackland leave on both sides of the Channel? What are the connections between King Arthur, the Plantagenets, and William the Conqueror? The Plantagenets, direct heirs of William the Conqueror, left a lasting political and cultural imprint in Normandy and Western Europe.

During this conference, Amaury Chauou from the University of Rennes 2 and Nicholas Vincent from the University of East Anglia, specialists in the Plantagenet dynasty, explore the connections between the Plantagenets and William the Conqueror, as well as their legacy.

An ideal event for the curious, history enthusiasts, and anyone wishing to better understand the roots of our region and Europe.
