Anglo-Saxons. This is how England began. 400-1066

Sixteen centuries ago, Roman legions left Britain, and it quickly fell into decline. Majestic cities and luxurious villas were abandoned and destroyed, while civil society plunged into chaos. In this brutal and unstable world, foreign invaders arrived and established themselves... as its new masters. Mark Morris tells the tumultuous history of the Anglo-Saxons over six centuries, intertwining events and fates. About legendary figures and ambitious queens, intolerant bishops and greedy courtiers, about how through their will, intrigues, mistakes, and outstanding activities, a new society, a new culture, and a united nation emerged. Mark Morris is a historian, television presenter, and medieval specialist. He is the author of national bestseller books.
