From shortly before AD 800 until the Norman Conquest, England was subject to raids from seafaring peoples from Scandinavia: the Vikings. They were not only raiders but also settlers and colonizers. In this book, the author assesses how far local developments responded to these events and discusses rural settlement and economy, the growth of towns, trade and exchange, craft and industry, and burial rituals and stone memorials. Features almost 100 maps, plans, reconstructions, and photographs.

From shortly before AD 800 until the Norman Conquest, England was subject to raids from seafaring peoples from Scandinavia - the Vikings. However, they were not only raiders but also traders and settlers. During this period, the English state was unified under a single ruler for the first time and Anglo-Saxon society underwent great changes. Using the latest archaeological evidence from places such as London, Lincoln and York, the author reassesses the Viking contribution to Late Anglo-Saxon England and examines the creation of a new Anglo-Scandinavian identity.

Book X in the epic Earls of Mercia Series.England, June AD1042The last of King Cnut's sons is dead. England is once more without a king, but Harthacnut, with an eye to the future, made it clear before his death that Edward was to rule after him, an English king, of the House of Wessex, for the first time in over two decades.But, while he might be English by birth, Edward has spent much of the last twenty years in Normandy, the birthplace of his mother. To become king, he might just have to rely on his mother and his earls to secure England for him, aware that there are those, mainly the Danes living in England, who might welcome a Danish, not an English king as their lord. Those who won't want a return to the rule of the weak and ineffectual, King Æthelred, Edward's father.Leofric and his son, Ælfgar, are once more thrust into the heart of the politics that rule England, where the oath of a man or woman can mean much less than it should, and where ambition could thrust England once more into war with the very enemy that has ruled England since the death of King Æthelred.The second Viking age of England is over, or is it?Praise for The Earls of Mercia Series"Love these books, so close to historical fact, they make you feel like you're almost transported there to the time and place!" Amazon Reviewer"Brilliant, as is the whole series of books especially if you like early Historical books." Amazon Reviewer"I have read all the books in the series, so far, and find the story and period very interesting." Amazon Reviewer"Really good read, looking forward to the next book in the series, enjoy the accuracy of the history contained in the book.""This is a fantastic series of books, by an author who certainly knows his subject. I was into the Roman invasions but am rapidly converting to the Britons!" Amazon Reviewer"A must-read for fans of Viking age England. This promises to be a very good series of which I can't wait for the next installment." Amazon Reviewer"Intriguing, well-written stories about the early days of Great Britain between Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror... at the time Athelred was King... the story is written from the perspective of one the emerging Earl's who sits on the Witan (counsel). The time period shows the interplay between Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries (Viking raiders) as well."

Raised in the shadow of a strange little building and told from a very young age that it housed the bones of the long-dead kings of Mercia, it's little wonder that my curiosity in history ran riot.

Drawing from recent archaeological and linguistic evidence, as well as more traditional literary and narrative sources, the author distinguishes between the initial phase of migrations in the ninth and tenth centuries, and the secondary period of settlement up to c. 1100 AD. He emphasizes, too, the differences in nature and intensity of the Viking impact on the societies that were slowly developing into the historic kingdoms of England and Scotland, and the more complex political structures of Wales and Ireland. Throughout the book, the effects of the Scandinavian invasions on Britain are set within the wider European context.

This book provides a synthesis of knowledge of the Vikings in England, including new interpretations and recent information recovered from excavation and surveys. The author of this book concentrates on two main areas - what was the precise nature of the Viking contribution to the history of England and their effect on local developments already underway and what was the native response to the Vikings? The impact of the Viking settlement is discussed in relation to various aspects of society including rural settlement and economy, the growth of towns, trade and exchange, craft industry and burial rituals and stone memorials. This book includes new information gathered from recent excavations, in particular the Viking site in Coppergate, York.

The study of early medieval towns has frequently concentrated on urban beginnings, the search for broadly applicable definitions of urban characteristics and the chronological development of towns. Far less attention has been paid to the experience of living in towns. The thirteen chapters in this book bring together the current state of knowledge about Viking-Age towns (c. 800–1100) from both sides of the Irish Sea, focusing on everyday life in and around these emerging settlements. What was it really like to grow up, live, and die in these towns? What did people eat, what did they wear, and how did they make a living for themselves? Although historical sources are addressed, the emphasis of the volume is overwhelmingly archaeological, paying homage to the wealth of new material that has become available since the advent of urban archaeology in the 1960s.
