Selected by Choice as an Outstanding Academic Title. This book provides a comprehensive guide, with extracts in translation from the principal sources for our knowledge, accompanied by the most important interpretations by scholars through the ages, and new introductions by the present author. The warfare of the late Anglo-Saxon period had momentous consequences for the development of the English state following Alfred the Great's reign.
In so doing, it highlights the significance of warfare and its organisation for the late Anglo-Saxon state, and the multitude of ways in which it was recorded and remembered. It looks at every aspect of the topic, from land and sea forces to logistics and campaigning, from fortifications and the battlefield to the final peacemaking. Dr Ryan Lavelle is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Winchester.
