A sweeping and original history of the Anglo-Saxons by national bestselling author Marc Morris. Sixteen hundred years ago Britain left the Roman Empire and swiftly fell into ruin. Grand cities and luxurious villas were deserted and left to crumble, and civil society collapsed into chaos. Into this violent and unstable world came foreign invaders from across the sea, and established themselves as its new masters. The Anglo-Saxons traces the turbulent history of these people across the next six centuries. It explains how their earliest rulers fought relentlessly against each other for glory and supremacy, and then were almost destroyed by the onslaught of the vikings. It explores how they abandoned their old gods for Christianity, established hundreds of churches and created dazzlingly intricate works of art. It charts the revival of towns and trade, and the origins of a familiar landscape of shires, boroughs and bishoprics. It is a tale of famous figures like King Offa, Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor, but also features a host of lesser known characters - ambitious queens, revolutionary saints, intolerant monks and grasping nobles. Through their remarkable careers we see how a new society, a new culture and a single unified nation came into being. Drawing on a vast range of original evidence - chronicles, letters, archaeology and artefacts - renowned historian Marc Morris illuminates a period of history that is only dimly understood, separates the truth from the legend, and tells the extraordinary story of how the foundations of England were laid.

Introduction I have written over 180 books. I think this is the best book that I have ever compiled. The Anglo-Saxons have been given an unfortunate bad opinion about their Race. Let's, begin with the truth. The Egyptians and Romans had Slaves before the Anglo-Saxons came into existence. The England Empire started in the Dark Ages. They were basically many Northern Tribes living in caves. They eventually evolved into the most Powerful and greatest Country on Earth (England). England was wise enough to adopt Christianity as their core Religionist belief of compassion, forgiveness and love. They had the opportunity to believe in Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism or any other Ideology. They chose Christianity because Jesus made more sense to them. The Anglo-Saxons fought many Wars between other ethnic groups. They conquered them and established Colonies around the World. Eventually, they ended Colonization and let other Races control their own destiny.

Presents the Anglo-Saxon period of English history from the fifth century up to the late eleventh century, covering such events as the spread of Christianity, the invasions of the Vikings, the composition of Beowulf, and the Battle of Hastings.
