Even the Venerable Bede knew little about the two AngloSaxon kingdoms described in this book. In the sixth and seventh centuries the pagan peoples of the Hwicce and Magonsaetan occupied the frontier from StratforduponAvon as far as the Welsh kingdoms west of Offa's Dyke. They retained their own kings, aristocracy and independent monasteries into the eighth century. Using archaeological, placename and historical sources, Dr SimsWilliams describes the early conversion to Christianity of these people, the origins of the dioceses of Worcester and Hereford, and the precocious growth of AngloSaxon monasticism. Drawing on many neglected documents he reveals a wide range of Continental, Irish and AngloSaxon influences on the church and shows that the monasteries were as varied in character as the Northumbrian foundations described by Bede.
