Críticas:
"an excellent look at life in Anglo-Saxon times, and at an overlooked but very important ruler"--The NYMAS Review "This account of Offa of Mercia and his battles against the other kingdoms of ancient Britain is as thrilling as a Bernard Cornwell novel..."--Books Monthly "Much of this period is unrecorded but the author effectively fills in the gaps through his extensive research. Often histories of England begin with the Norman Conquest, but this work effectively argues that England was truly created hundreds of years earlier."-- (05/01/2018) "Peers often explains his conclusions, since the evidence is frequently uncertain, a practice which helps make this book more useful than some others. An excellent introduction to Britain in the so-called "Dark Ages"."--The NYMAS Review, Winter 2018
Reseña del editor:
In England in the eighth century, in the midst of the so-called Dark Ages, Offa ruled Mercia, one of the strongest Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. For over 30 years he was the dominant warlord in the territory south of the Humber and the driving force behind the expansion of Mercia s power. During that turbulent period he commanded Mercian armies in their struggle against the neighbouring kingdoms of Northumbria and Wessex and against the Welsh tribes. Yet the true story of Offa s long reign and of the rise and fall of Mercia are little known although this is one of the most intriguing episodes in this little-recorded phase of England s past. It is Chris Peers s task in this new study to uncover the facts about Offa and the other Mercian kings and to set them in the context of English history before the coming of the Danes.
