Download or read book Strathclyde and the Anglo Saxons in the Viking Age written by Tim Clarkson and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2014-12-21 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of relations between the kingdom of Strathclyde and Anglo-Saxon England in the Viking period of the ninth to eleventh centuries AD. It puts the spotlight on the North Britons or 'Cumbrians', an ancient people whose kings ruled from a power-base at Govan on the western side of present-day Glasgow. In the tenth century, these kings extended their rule southward from Clydesdale to the southern shore of the Solway Firth, bringing their language and culture to a region that had been in English hands for more than two hundred years. They played a key role in many of the great political events of the time, whether leading their armies in battle or forging treaties to preserve a fragile peace. Their extensive realm, which was also known as 'Cumbria', was eventually conquered by the Scots, but is still remembered today in the name of an English county. How this county acquired the name of a long-vanished kingdom centred on the River Clyde is one of the topics covered in this book.It is part of a wider history that forms an important chapter in the story of how England and Scotland emerged from the early medieval period or 'Dark Ages' as the countries we know today.

Download or read book The History of the Scots Picts and Britons written by D. F. Dale and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an in-depth study of the origins of the Scots, the Picts, the Britons (and even some Anglo-Saxon history) in the Dark Age period. It is a little bit controversial, but I think it is a reasonable assessment. Even if you don't accept the conclusions, hopefully you will appreciate the work that has gone into it, and the presentation of the evidence from their own legends and testimonies - you are not likely to find many of them in other history books. At the very least I hope it will be a starting point for many people to revisit the past

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respected antiquarian Thomas William Shore investigates the Anglo-Saxons and their ancestors; the regional tribes who settled upon all corners of ancient England and Wales. This genealogical study is the result of years of painstaking study and research. Working at the turn of the 20th century, the author used the existing archaeological finds together with the documentary evidence, to draw conclusions upon the character of England. We discover that the English have a staggering array of ancestors from a variety of locales; Scandinavia, southern and central Europe, and farther afield in Africa. The complex movements of settlers to the British Isles, a process spanning thousands of years, is summarized. The later chapters turn to the different regions of England, such as Kent, Sussex, Northumbria and Lincolnshire, and Mercia in the southwest. The various tribal societies that existed in these parts are detailed, with Shore noting that the tribes often had disparate origins - different peoples separated by vast distances across Europe settled in differing regions of England. The Anglo-Saxon identity that eventually resulted was the product of extremely diverse and varied origins. In support of this cogent narrative, every chapter of this work contains annotations and references, that the reader be able to cross-reference the many sources that Shore made use of.
