Harper, PaulCERDIC: Mysterious Dark Age King Who Founded England Bio of the Dark Age king, Cerdic, who founded Wessex, which grew into England. Reveals how Cerdic emerged from the ashes of Rome in the 6th century, with a warband known as the Gewisse which offered protection to civilians from roaming barbarians. He fought for territory with rival kingdoms before evolving into the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex. Discusses the identity of his shadowy son, the location of every bloody battle against enemy warlords, links to an iconic medieval poem, and the King Arthur legend. Also notes the discovery of his potential burial site on the edge of a Hampshire town. A huge barrow was located near a historic trackway, a Wansdyke-style earthwork, and an old Roman Road as a very public statement of power and warning to enemies. Contains 70 mono illustrations.1 vol, 296 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available mid July 2024 ......$43.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our DARK AGES
