Northumbria, 500-1100 : creation and destruction of a kingdom
"This book deals with the development of Northumbria from the beginning of its history to the end, thereby offering a unique opportunity to study the rise and fall of a kingdom rather than just focusing on its period of greatness." "It examines the mechanisms of ethnic, political, social and religious change which, beginning after the end of the Roman Empire, welded the large and disparate area between the Humber and the Firth of Forth into one of the most powerful kingdoms of early medieval England, and those which led to its disintegration and the emergence in its place of the political structures of northern England and southern Scotland."
