2.0 out of 5 stars
mediocre biography of a mediocre monarch,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aethelred II: King of the English 978-1016 (English Monarchs) (Paperback)
Not having read other biographies of Aethelred II, I can't say how Ryan Lavelle's compares to them. I would like to see more actual evidence and less speculation. If the available evidence doesn't completely illuminate this period, it's better to admit you don't know than cite one unproven theory after another. The discussion of other figures during Aethelred II's reign is often more interesting than the material about Aethelred II.
The illustrations didn't reproduce well in the paperback edition. Overall, I found this book to be a disappointment. |
