ISBN: 9780300100587 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. In medieval Europe, falconry was perhaps the most popular form of hunting among the aristocracy.

A Short History of the Anglo-Saxons
ISBN: 9781780765990 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. "Here lies our leader all cut down, the valiant man in the dust." The elegiac words of the Battle of Maldon, an epic poem written to celebrate the bravery of an English army defeated by Viking raiders in 991. They emerge from a diverse literature-including Beowulf and Bede's Ecclesiastical History-produced by the peoples known as the Anglo-Saxons: Germanic tribes who migrated to Britain from Lower Saxony and Denmark in the early fifth century CE. The era once known as the 'Dark Ages' was marked by stunning cultural advances. Here, Henrietta Leyser offers a fresh analysis of exciting recent...

The Sutton Hoo Story: Encounters with Early England
ISBN: 9781783272044 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. The Sutton Hoo ship-burial is one of the most significant finds ever made in Europe. It lies in a burial ground which contains all the elements of archaeological mystery: seventeen mounds, buried treasure, and sacrificed horses. In this very accessible book, Martin Carver explains what we know of this site, at which the leaders of the Dark Age kingdom of East Anglia signalled the pagan and maritime nature of their court. This is the story not only of this dramatic place, but also of its exploration over half a century, which amounts to a potted history of British archaeology.

Writing the Welsh Borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England
ISBN: 9781784994198 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England is the first study of the Anglo-Welsh border region in the period before the Norman Conquest, from the fifth to the twelfth centuries. It significantly alters our current picture of Anglo-Welsh relations by overturning the longstanding critical belief that interactions between these two peoples were predominately contentious. In fact, as the book shows, the region which would later become the March of Wales was not a military frontier but a distinctly mixed Anglo-Welsh cultural zone. Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England is the first study of the Anglo-Welsh border region in the period before the Norman C... |

And without exception, whether noble or villein, bishop or serf, they've all had to cope with life in this marshy, rebellious land.

Meetings with Remarkable Forgeries
ISBN: 9780954291129 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE FORGERIES is a response to the best-selling book Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts. Using a range of methods and sources, it makes a compelling case that all gospel books of the early Christian era are in fact forgeries largely created in the twelfth century. A number of nationally-cherished icons such as the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels are shown to be fakes. These unsettling revelations, if true, would require a comprehensive rethinking of how we understand Dark Age Europe, and indeed might raise suspicions that much of the history and archaeology...

The Northern Conquest: Vikings in Britain and Ireland
ISBN: 9781909930551 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Most historical accounts examine the Viking Age in one part rather than the whole region of the British Isles and Ireland. Very few pay attention to the continued contact between England and Scandinavia in the post-Norman Conquest period. This book aims to offer an alternative approach by presenting a history of the Viking Age which considers the whole area up to and beyond the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Vikings have been traditionally portrayed as brutal barbarians who sailed to Britain and Ireland to loot, rape and pillage. The evidence presented here suggests a considerably less...
