Historia de los pueblos bárbaros de Europa

In this epic journey, we will first meet the barbarians who opposed the almost unstoppable advance of Rome. From Hispania to Britain, passing through Gaul, we will discover the brave Celtic peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, the surprising and sophisticated Iberians, the warlike Gauls or the mysterious Britons. All this will be dotted with names such as that of the Gallic leader Vercingétorix, defeated by Julius Caesar, that of the powerful British queen Boudicca, whose death has enigmatic overtones, or that of the mythical Lusitanian guerrilla Viriato, who could only be defeated by treason. In addition, we will enjoy the most outstanding facts of its historical development and we will be amazed by episodes such as the famous site of Alesia or the bloody campaign that the Astures and Cantabrians suffered at the hands of Augustus. If Rome raised a great empire it is because she defeated and crushed great enemies. The second part of the book will take us to the other barbarians, those who opposed Rome until it fell, and on whose ashes they raised kingdoms, fought to expand their domains, shed blood for the faith and paved the way to the Middle Ages. The Suevi, with what is considered the first medieval kingdom in the West, the Vandals, who became lords and masters of the Mediterranean, the Alans, with an enviable management of cavalry, the Visigoths, who marked the history of Spain, the Ostrogoths, with a legendary king like Theodoric the Great, the Franks, with Clovis who is considered one of the fathers of France, the Angles and Saxons, with the legend of King Arthur, the Longobards, with their long beards, the Huns, that caused the stampede and the submission of many barbarian peoples, and others will not miss the appointment.
