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

罗伯特·柯蒂斯是征服者威廉的儿子中最年长的。他作为诺曼底公爵的统治被他的兄弟威廉·鲁弗斯和亨利一世作为英格兰国王的统治所笼罩。这种相对的忽视已经反映在出版的文学作品中，这往往是罗伯特失败的关键。该项目旨在重新审视罗伯特·柯蒂斯的职业生涯，以评估他对诺曼底公爵领地、英格兰王国的历史以及11世纪和12世纪初西方基督教世界的贡献的意义。

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.
