Descripción

A little soiling to text block. General Shelfwear. Some highlighting; Medieval Academy Reprints for Teaching; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 348 pages; Charles the Good (1080/86 - March 2, 1127) was Count of Flanders from 1119 to 1127. He is most remembered for his murder and its aftermath. He was noted for his kindness and generosity towards the poor, and during a time of famine he distributed bread to them. He also took action to prevent grain from being hoarded and sold at excessively high prices. Some of those engaged in that activity then conspired to kill Charles, which they accomplished at the Church of St. Donatian in Bruges. The murder of the popular Charles provoked a great deal of outrage, and he was soon regarded as a martyr and saint.
