The death of Anglo-Saxon England

The Norman Conquest of 1066 effectively dispossessed the Anglo-Saxon royal house, marginalized English cultural values and began the exclusion of English figures from influence. This magnificently illustrated study, now available in paperback, focuses on royal succession and the descent of the crown. Higham ultimately unveils a world of high politics, intrigue and ambition, exploring the role of usurpation, warrior kings and factional conflicts in the death of Anglo-Saxon England
