Grand cities and luxurious villas were deserted and left to crumble, and civil society collapsed into chaos. Into this violent and unstable world came foreign invaders from across the sea, and established themselves as its new masters. The Anglo-Saxons traces the turbulent history of these people across the next six centuries. It explains how their earliest rulers fought relentlessly against each other for glory and supremacy, and then were almost destroyed by the onslaught of the vikings. It explores how they abandoned their old gods for Christianity, established hundreds of churches and created dazzlingly intricate works of art. It charts the revival of towns and trade, and the origins of a familiar landscape of shires, boroughs and bishoprics. It is a tale of famous figures like King Offa, Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor, but also features a host of lesser known characters - ambitious queens, revolutionary saints, intolerant monks and grasping nobles. Through their remarkable careers we see how a new society, a new culture and a single unified nation came into being. 650 0 $a Anglo-Saxons. 650 6 $a Anglo-Saxons. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Anglo-Saxon period, 449-1066. 651 6 $a Grande-Bretagne $x Histoire $y 449-1066 (PeÌriode anglo-saxonne) 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Livres audio. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a McMillan, Roy, $d 1963- $e narrator. $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjwp9MDHDhbxqHPBC3VKkC 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD6EFB82084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
