'Dazzling, provocative and brilliant' - Dominic Sandbrook, The Sunday Times

From Norman Davies, the acclaimed author of Europe: A History, comes the magical history of Europe's lost realms, selected as a Book of the Year by the Sunday Times, the Daily Telegraph, New Statesman, Independent, the Guardian and the Financial Times.

Europe's history is littered with kingdoms, duchies, empires and republics which have now disappeared but which were once fixtures on the map of their age. What happened to the once-great Mediterranean 'Empire of Aragon'? Where did the half-forgotten kingdoms of Burgundy go? Which current nations will one day become a distant memory too?

This original and enthralling book peers through the cracks of history to discover the stories of lost realms across the centuries.

“Vanished Kingdoms”

If history is written by the victors then, as Norman Davies notes in his introduction to Vanished Kingdoms, it’s perhaps no surprise that historians [and publishers] are preoccupied with “tales of great powers, of... More
