This book, an expansion of the original Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, is part of a detailed history of early England, from the rule of Egbert in the early 9th century to the Norman Conquest. The author details the history of England from the time of Egbert's consolidation of power under the banner of Wessex, through the reign of his grandson Alfred the Great, known as England's only true 'Great'. This includes the struggle against repeated Viking invasions and the development of the English language and governmental institutions. The book places these islands within the broader European context.
