In the Dark Ages between the departure of the Roman legions and the Norman Conquest the island of Britain was a place of frequent conflict. Competition for territory, dynastic rivalries and Viking invasions caused the rise and fall of many warlords and kings. There were literally hundreds of battles involving legendary figures like Arthur and Hengest and famous leaders like Saint Oswald and King Alfred. In this fascinating book, Peter Marren investigates this confused era of warfare, looks for the reality behind the myths, and uses the techniques of modern scholarship to show how battles were fought in that distant age, where they were fought, and why.
