Richly illustrated, this title describes AngloSaxon monarchs, warlords and their warriors and households in AngloSaxon Britain, from the first postRoman mercenaries to the Norman Conquest.In a country fragmented by Roman withdrawal during the 5th century AD, the employment of Germanic mercenaries by local rulers in AngloSaxon Britain was commonplace. These mercenaries became settlers, forcing RomanoBritish communities into Wales and the West Country. Against a background of spreading Christianity, the struggles of rival British and AngloSaxon kingdoms were exploited by the Vikings, but eventually contained by the AngloSaxon king, Alfred of Wessex. His descendants unified the country during the 10th century, however, subsequent weak rule saw its 25year incorporation into a Danish empire before it finally fell to the Norman invasion of 1066.Scholars of the early Church have long known that the term 'Dark Ages' for the 5th to 11th centuries in Britain refers only to a lack of written sources, and gives a false impression of material culture. The AngloSaxon warrior elite were equipped with magnificent armour, influenced by the cultures of the late Romans, the Scandinavian Vendel people, the Frankish Merovingians, Carolingians and Ottonians, and also the Vikings.In this volume, coauthors Raffaele D'Amato and Stephen Pollington access their extended knowledge to paint a vivid picture of the kings and warlords of the time with the aid of colour illustrations, rare photos and the latest archaeological research.
