Fighting Kings of Wessex

by Robert K. Baker and George Philip Baker

Book Overview

Emerging from the mists of legend at the time of the fall of Rome in the fifth century, the Saxon kings attempted to build a new kingdom around their own province of Wessex in southwestern England; strongly emphasizing a "collapse of civilization" theme, the author of this classic volume shows that Saxon England and Viking Scandinavia did not exist in isolation from the rest of Europe.
