Manuel du libraire et de l'amateur de livres (5e éd.), Goldsmiths'-Kress library of economic literature, F 123 p. 161 II, 1169 no. 46.1-2 suppl "The History of the Tyrants of Sicily by the so-called Hugo Falcandus is a key source for the history of the medieval kingdom of Sicily. It describes the events of the reign of King William I "the Bad" (1154-1166) and the minority of his son, William II "the Good" (1166-1189) up to the spring of 1169. These were years of crisis and the History presents a vivid and compelling (though savagely biased) picture of royal tyranny, rebellion and factional dispute at court."--Manchester University Press. | Translate |
