The Story of the Shire (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book journeys through the rich history of the English shire system, a uniquely Teutonic institution likely originating with the Anglo-Saxons. Following their invasion, the early Heptarchy period saw the establishment of seven kingdoms; however, by 827 King Egbert managed to unite the kingdoms under his rule, creating a unified England. The author then delves into the division of England into counties, examining how from the original seven, the number of shires gradually increased as smaller kingdoms were absorbed into larger ones or as sub-kingdoms established their independence. The author also discusses the impact of different waves of invaders including the Danes and Normans, on the evolution of the shire system and even explores the influence of the system on the development of local government in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Moreover, this book uncovers the origins of many English county names and explores the impact of geography and local customs on their development. The book concludes by recognizing the resilience and adaptability of the shire system, noting that despite the many changes over the centuries, it remains a cornerstone of English local government and a testament to the enduring influence of history on the present day.
