Northumbria was one of the great kingdoms of Britain in the Dark
Ages, enduring longer than the Roman Empire. Yet it has been all
but forgotten. This book puts Northumbria back in its rightful
place, at the heart of British history. From the impregnable
fastness of Bamburgh Castle, the kings of Northumbria ruled a vast
area, and held sway as High Kings of Britain. From the tidal island
of Lindisfarne, extraordinary saints and learned scholars brought
Christianity and civilization to the rest of the country. Now,
thanks to the ongoing work of a dedicated team of archaeologists
this story is slowly being brought to light. The excavations at
Bamburgh Castle have revealed a society of unsuspected
sophistication and elegance, capable of creating swords and
jewellery unparalleled before or since, and works of art and
devotion that still fill the beholder with wonder.
