Description

Gain new insights into a transformative era of English history with this detailed study from the Warfare in History series. This book examines the period between 991 and 1017, focusing on the intense Scandinavian invasions that reshaped the nation. Through an analysis of the activities of Swein Forkbeard and the Danish warlord Thorkell the Tall, readers can explore the escalation of conflict from the Battle of Maldon during the reign of Aethelred the Unready to the eventual domination of England. This historical work tracks the increasing size and ferocity of Scandinavian armies and their impact on the English landscape. It follows the rise of Swein Forkbeard, King of Denmark, and the subsequent long reign of his son, Cnut. The text provides a rigorous analysis of these invasions, offering a perspective that challenges existing views of the era. Perfect for students and historians interested in Anglo-Saxon history and the complex dynamics of medieval warfare and conquest.
