Book Synopsis The History of the Scots, Picts and Britons by : D. F. Dale
Download or read book The History of the Scots, Picts and Britons written by D. F. Dale and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an in-depth study of the origins of the Scots, the Picts, the Britons (and even some Anglo-Saxon history) in the Dark Age period. It is a little bit controversial, but I think it is a reasonable assessment. Even if you don't accept the conclusions, hopefully you will appreciate the work that has gone into it, and the presentation of the evidence from their own legends and testimonies - you are not likely to find many of them in other history books. At the very least I hope it will be a starting point for many people to revisit the past

Book Synopsis Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age by : Tim Clarkson
Download or read book Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age written by Tim Clarkson and published by John Donald. This book was released on 2014-12-21 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed medievalist examines the rise and fall of the last kingdom of the North Britons and their influence on the Anglo-Saxons. During the Viking period, the Kingdom of Strathclyde stretched across what is now southern Scotland and northern England. Also known as Cumbria, its kings ruled from Govan on the outskirts of present-day Glasgow. Shining a spotlight on these North Britons, or “Cumbrians,” this volume chronicles their relations with Anglo-Saxon England from the ninth to eleventh centuries AD. In the tenth century, Strathclyde extended its rule southward from Clydesdale to the Solway Firth, bringing their language and culture to a region that had been in English hands for more than two hundred years. They played a key role in the political events of the time, from leading their armies in battle to forging treaties and preserve a fragile peace. The extensive Cumbrian realm was eventually conquered by the Scots, but is still memorialized today by the English county of Cumbria. How this county acquired the name of a long-vanished kingdom centered on the River Clyde is one of the mysteries explored in this book. The story of Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons is an important chapter in the saga of England and Scotland as they emerged from the Dark Ages as the countries we know today.

Book Synopsis Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age by : T. J. Clarkson
Download or read book Strathclyde and the Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age written by T. J. Clarkson and published by John Donald. This book was released on 2014 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of relations between the kingdom of Strathclyde and Anglo-Saxon England in the Viking period of the ninth to eleventh centuries AD. It puts the spotlight on the North Britons or 'Cumbrians', an ancient people whose kings ruled from a power-base at Govan on the western side of present-day Glasgow. In the tenth century, these kings extended their rule southward from Clydesdale to the southern shore of the Solway Firth, bringing their language and culture to a region that had been in English hands for more than two hundred years. They played a key role in many of the great political events of the time, whether leading their armies in battle or forging treaties to preserve a fragile peace. Their extensive realm, which was also known as 'Cumbria', was eventually conquered by the Scots, but is still remembered today in the name of an English county. How this county acquired the name of a long-vanished kingdom centred on the River Clyde is one of the topics covered in this book.It is part of a wider history that forms an important chapter in the story of how England and Scotland emerged from the early medieval period or 'Dark Ages' as the countries we know today.
