'A beautiful, beautiful book . . . archaeology is changing so much
about the way we view the so-called Dark Ages … [Williams] is
just brilliant at bringing them to light' Rory Stewart on The Rest
is Politics From the bestselling author of Viking Britain, a new
epic history of our forgotten past. This is the world of Arthur and
Urien; of the Picts and Britons and Saxon migration; of magic and
war, myth and miracle. In Lost Realms Thomas Williams uncovers the
forgotten origins and untimely demise of Britain’s ancient
kingdoms: lands that hover in the twilight between history and
fable, whose stories hum with gods and miracles, with giants and
battles and ruin. Why did some realms – like Wessex, Northumbria
and Gwynedd – prosper while others fell? And how did their
communities adapt to the catastrophic changes of their age? Drawing
on Britain ’ s ancient landscape and bringing together new
archaeological revelations with the few precious fragments of
surviving written sources, Williams spectacularly rebuilds a lost
past.
