Opis

The decline of London after the Romans scarpered:
- What did the new Lundenwic look like? - Viking invasion - What did people wear, how did they make a living? - Where did Alfred the Great burn his cakes? - Viking invasion - Why was Ethelred so Unready? - The Battle of London Bridge - Viking invasion - King Canute - Edward the Confessor and his French mates - Norman invasion
A sane (honest) guide to London's most confusing period--including an archaeological trail for present-day readers, some of the funniest names in English history, the markets, the slaves, the endless changes of power and the everyday life of an average confused Saxon Londoner.
