First published in 1963, this classic exploration of the history of
English kings and kingship from the sixth to the twelfth centuries
has now been updated for a new generation of readers. A prologue
has been added summarizing changes in modern knowledge and
underlining the difference between the history of the 'English
people', a phrase of the sixth century, and the kingdom of the
English, which only came of age in the tenth. An entirely new
chapter discusses queens, including St Margaret, who became queen
of Scotland. The bibliography has also been completely
revised.
As in previous editions, one of the books most important
features is that it is written from the sources inviting readers to
reconstruct the story for themselves by engaging in a series of
enquiries into, for example, the nature of king-making, the origins
of the English kingdoms, and the meaning of the Bayeux
tapestry.
