Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the history of Somerset's Exmoor, from its prehistoric and ancient past through to the year 1818, when it was a royal forest. The author draws on a wide variety of sources, including local tradition, archaeological evidence, royal charters, and church records. The book explores the relationships between the people of Exmoor, the forest and the animals who lived there, and the often violent changes that have shaped the landscape over time. Exmoor was once home to thick woodland, yet today is most known for its barren and treeless uplands. The author explores why this change happened and discusses the debate around the presence of the Danes in the area during the medieval period.
