Description
Before the hegemony of Wessex, the kingdom of Mercia was the dynamic heart of England. For the first time since the end of Roman rule, a ruler was able to exert control effectively from his court and develop links with the Continent. In the latest of his sequence of histories of Early Medieval Britain, Max Adams re-connects the worlds of Oswald, Bede and Aelfred in an absorbing study of the landscape, politics and society of 8th century England.
