Making England, 796-1042 explores the creation and establishment of
the kingdom of England and the significant changes that led to it
becoming one of the most successful and sophisticated political
structures in the western world by the middle of the eleventh
century. At the end of the eighth century when King Offa of Mercia
died, England was a long way from being a single kingdom ruled by a
single king. This book examines how and why the kingdom of England
formed in the way it did and charts the growth of royal power over
the following two and a half centuries. Key political and military
events are introduced alongside developments within government, the
law, the church and wider social and economic changes to provide a
detailed picture of England throughout this period. This is also
set against a wider European context to demonstrate the influence
of external forces on England's development. With a focus on
England's rulers and elites, Making England, 796-1042 uncovers the
type of kingdom England was and analyses its strengths and
weaknesses as well as the emerging concept of a specifically
English nation. Arranged both chronologically and thematically, and
containing a selection of maps and genealogies, it is the ideal
introducion to this subject for students of medieval history and of
medieval England in particular.
