Publisher's Synopsis
How did a medieval shipwreck in the English Channel lead to the unification of France, the banning of the Knights Templar, the popularization of items like handkerchiefs and wigs, the voyages of Columbus, and the creation of the most widely printed book in the world and the rockets that took man to the moon?
Follow along as author Kevin B. Cannon traces the ripple effects of the wreck of the White Ship, explaining how a little-known event in world history has touched lives to the present day. This book shows why history matters and is worth studying.
