Requests:  0 Summary:  "Sixteen hundred years ago Britain left the Roman Empire and swiftly fell into ruin. Grand cities and luxurious villas were deserted and left to crumble--and civil society collapsed into chaos. Into this violent and unstable world came foreign invaders from across the sea, and established themselves as its new masters. The Anglo-Saxons traces the turbulent history of these people across the next six centuries. It explains how their earliest rulers fought relentlessly against each other for glory and supremacy, and then were almost destroyed by the onslaught of the Vikings. It explores how they abandoned their old gods for Christianity, established hundreds of churches and created dazzlingly intricate works of art. This authoritative narrative charts the revival of towns and trade, as well as the origins of a familiar landscape of shires, boroughs and bishoprics. The Anglo-Saxons is a tale of famous figures like King Offa, Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor, but the book also features a host of lesser known characters--ambitious queens, revolutionary saints, intolerant monks and grasping nobles. Through their remarkable careers we see how a new society, a new culture and a single unified nation came into being."-- Dust jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.01 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 942.01 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.01 Morris Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.01 Mo Checked out 06/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.01 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.01 Mo Checked out 07/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 942.01 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 942.01 Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
