Anglo-Saxon
Herefordshire
examines the remarkable history of Herefordshire from the end of Roman
Britain to the Norman Conquest. Gathering together the often
fragmentary
archaeological and documentary evidence Raymond Perry shows that the
roots
of modern day Herefordshire are based on the culture and traditions of
the Anglo-Saxons. He traces the evolution of the society and landscape
described in the Domesday Book beginning with the arrival of the first
pagan Anglo-Saxons and ending with the the warfare and violence of
eleventh-century
England.
Themes
explored
in the book include the mysterious early kingdom of the
Magonsæte,
the construction of Offa's Dyke, the growth of Hereford itself and
nature
of the power struggles that developed as the Anglo-Saxon era in
Herefordshire
drew to an end. Essential reading for all those interested in the
history
of Herefordshire the book looks at the men of Hereford fighting and
defeating
the Vikings, the widespread nature of slavery in late Anglo-Saxon
Herefordshire,
the history of the Welsh province of Archenfield within Herefordshire
and
the ways in which peace was maintained between the English and the
Welsh.
