Max Adams: The Mercian Chronicles: King Offa and the Birth of the Anglo-Saxon State
Advertisement
Join bestselling archaeologist and historian Max Adams as he explores the golden age of Mercia – its landscapes, peoples, conflicts, power struggles and political geography.
Discover how, in the eighth century, the kingdom of Mercia rose to prominence under powerful monarchs such as Æthelbald and Offa, establishing a centralised authority and paving the way for future developments in governance and commerce.
The Mercian Chronicles brilliantly illustrates the legacy of these formidable monarchs and their profound impact on the geography of medieval England – setting the stage for the Viking Age’s ensuing conflicts and alliances – and reconnects the worlds of significant historical figures such as Oswald, Bede, and Alfred, breathing life into a century that profoundly shaped English history.
