(Charlotte Mary) Cameos from English History, from Rollo to Edward II Text files produced by Joshua Hutchinson, Jayam Subramanian and PG Distributed Proofreaders HTML file produced by David Widger "Cameos from English History, from Rollo to Edward II" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an engaging introduction for young readers who have moved beyond basic histories of England, providing vivid illustrations of pivotal characters and events from the times of Rollo, the Viking leader, to Edward II, the English king. The book emphasizes key moments and figures that shaped English history, intending to deepen understanding through rich narrative rather than mere chronological facts. The opening of the book establishes the author’s intention to present history as a series of vivid cameos—distinctive portraits of influential figures such as Rolf Ganger and William Longsword, among others. These early chapters delve into the Viking incursions into France and the establishment of Normandy, exploring how these events set the stage for the later conquests of England. The narrative captures the personalities of these historical figures, focusing on how their actions and decisions contributed to the larger historical tapestry, all while aiming to evoke the imagination and curiosity of its youthful audience.
