Hardback. Zustand: Good. King Harold Godwineson (c.1022-66) is one of history's shadowy figures, known mainly for his defeat and death at the Battle of Hastings. His true status and achievements have been overshadowed by the events of 1066 and the bias imposed by the Norman victory. This text aims to correct the common view of Harold, presenting an argument for being one of England's greatest rulers. The book presents Harold's life in its proper context, offering a critical study of his career in the years leading up to 1066. It begins with an account of Harold's father, Earl Godwine and his rise to power, and goes on to discuss how Harold too rose to power through service to the childless King Edward and eventually being named as Edward's successor. The text offers a thorough consideration of Harold's short but extremely eventful reign, detailing a series of attacks by Harold's vengeful brother and two full-scale invasions from Norway and Normandy. Ian Walker presents a critique of the sources of this information and attempts to reconcile the distortions in the divergent "English" and "Norman" accounts available to modern commentators, allowing the reader to make a realistic assessment of both Harold and his rival William.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The role of King Alfred and his successors in the defence of Wessex against the Vikings, in the recovery of lost territory and in the forging of a unified English kingdom is widely known. However, less is known about the part played in these crucial events by the Mercians - the neighbours and rivals of the West Saxons, who occupied central England. This text re-examines the events of the mid-8th to late-10th centuries to provide a balanced account of the period. Traditionally, historians have focused on the decline of Mercia and the rise of Wessex, but Ian Walker reveals that, despite dynastic disputes and invasion, Mercia remained a powerful kingdom even after the long, successful reign of Offa. Moreover, he shows how the very real threat of Viking dominance persuaded Mercia and Wessex to co-operate as equals against a common enemy, making marriage alliances, launching joint campaigns, building fortresses and working in parallel to restore control over areas under Viking occupation. There was therefore a long period of co-existence and co-operation between Mercian leaders such as Aethelred and the redoubtable Lady Aethelflaed (the only woman to rule an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in her own right) and the rulers of Wessex such as Alfred the Great and Edward the Elder. The author goes on to trace how the unified kingdom of England came about partly because of this process, and partly because a number of dynastic accidents, not, as is traditionally argued, because of West Saxon conquest. England was very much a new kingdom, a "rex anglorum", rather than a greater Wessex, and without Mercia, it might never have been established. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
