Following Germania and Danubia, the third installment in Simon Winder's personal history of Europe.
In 843 AD, the three surviving grandsons of the great emperor Charlemagne met at Verdun. After years of bitter squabbles over who would inherit the family land, they finally decided to divide the territory and go their separate ways. In a moment of staggering significance, one grandson inherited the area we now know as France, another Germany, and the third received the piece in between: Lotharingia.
Lotharingia is a history of in-between Europe. It is the story of a place between places. In this beguiling, hilarious, and compelling book, Simon Winder retraces the various powers that have tried to overtake the land that stretches from the mouth of the Rhine to the Alps and the might of the peoples who have lived there for centuries.

One of my favorite books
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narration made it difficult to follow the line of history, so much so that I went back to the older books to see if I wasn't being too harsh in my judgement.
I wasn't.
James Cameron Stewart is a consummate performer, and makes one believe he is also the historian.
It's a shame he didn't perform "Lotharingia", too.
Simon Winder Deserves Better
