Specificatii
A witty and concise look at the beginnings of English history, when
the nation consolidated after clashes between the Saxons and
invading Vikings. In 871, three of England's four kingdoms were
overrun by Vikings, the ruthless, all-conquering Scandinavian
raiders who terrorized early medieval Europe. With the Norsemen
murdering one king with arrows and torturing another to death by
ripping out his lungs, the prospects that faced the kingdom of
Wessex were bleak. Worse still, the Saxons were now led by a young
man barely out of his teens who was more interested in God than
fighting. Yet within a decade Alfred--the only English king known
as the Great--had driven the Vikings out of half of England, and
his children and grandchildren would unite the country a few years
later. This period, popular with fans of television shows such as
Vikings and The Last Kingdom, saw the creation of England as a
nation-state, with Alfred laying down the first national law code,
establishing an education system and building cities. Saxons vs.
Vikings also covers the period before Alfred, including ancient
Britain, the Roman occupation, and the Dark Ages, explaining
important historical episodes such as Boudicca, King Arthur, and
Beowulf. Perfect for newcomers to the subject, this is the second
title in the new A Very, Very Short History of England series. If
you're trying to understand England and its history in the most
informative and entertaining way possible, this is the place to
start.
