Book Synopsis Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Wars by : David Nicolle
Download or read book Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Wars written by David Nicolle. This book was released on 1984-03-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arthurian Age; the Celtic Twilight; the Dark Ages; the Birth of England; these are the powerfully romantic names often given to one of the most confused yet vital periods in British history. It is an era upon which rival Celtic and English nationalisms frequently fought. It was also a period of settlement, and of the sword. This absorbing volume by David Nicolle transports us to an England shrouded in mystery and beset by savage conflict, a land which played host to one of the most enduring figures of our history – Arthur.
