Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the captivating origins of the people of England and their journey from a confederation of tribes of seafaring invaders to a single, unified nation. Set against the backdrop of a Roman Empire in decline, it tells the story of how the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes left their ancestral homes to carve out a new existence in Britain. A compelling read, this book follows their transformation over three eventful centuries from fierce warriors to peaceful Christians, with the establishment of a new kingdom and the emergence of their own unique culture. The author presents a vivid picture of life in the early English kingdoms, examining their customs, beliefs, and the emergence of leaders such as Alfred the Great. Along the way, it sheds light on the rich tapestry of their beliefs, their conversion to Christianity, their kings and leaders, and the establishment of a unified, Christian nation. The book concludes by discussing the lasting impact and influence of the Anglo-Saxons on the development of England, including their enduring legacy in institutions, culture, and language.
