The career of Robert Cuthose, duke of Normandy 1087-1134

罗伯特·柯索斯是征服者威廉的长子。他作为诺曼底杜克的统治被他的兄弟威廉·鲁弗斯和英格兰国王亨利的统治所掩盖。这种相对的忽视已经反映在出版的文献中，这些文献往往是罗伯特失败的关键。本项目旨在重新审视罗伯特·柯索斯的职业生涯，以评估他对诺曼底公国、英格兰王国和11世纪和12世纪初西方基督教世界历史的贡献。

Robert Curthose was the oldest of the sons of William the Conqueror. His reign as duke of Normandy has been overshadowed by the reigns of his brothers, William Rufus and Henry 1 as King of England. This comparative neglect has been has been reflected in the published literature, which has tended to be crucial of Robert's failings. This project seeks to re-examine the career of Robert Curthose in order to assess the significance of his contribution to the history of the duchy of Normandy, the Kingdom of England and to Western Christendom in the eleventh and early twelfth centuries.
