NORMAN CONQUEST OF 1066-DEATH KNOLL FOR ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND,
By
This review is from: The Death of Anglo-Saxon England (Hardcover)
This book printed in Britain is a well illustrated volume focusing on the endpoint of Anglo-Saxon England. Politics and invasion are central to the question what happened to bring about "the death of anglo-saxon England". The chapters within this book are as listed below: Introduction The Making and Unmaking of Aethelred the 'Unraed' Power and Legitimacy: Danish Kingship and its Opponents Crisis, Mishap and Opportunity: English Kingship 1035-1065 1066: Succession and Crisis Postscripts Further Reading Index The book is lavishly illustrated with both maps and black and white photographs, with a center section of 8 pages of color photographs. The world of politics, ambition, intrigue of Anglo-Saxon England are well explored in this volume. A true value at present Amazon prices, years back I paid $15.98 for my copy. Well recommended by one who enjoys reading books centered on the events of 1066. Another volume entitled HAROLD; THE LAST ANGLO-SAXON KING sit side-by-side on my library shelves. Both these books may be of interest to readers who enjoy this period. Semper Fi. |
