Riassunto

This book is a study of the exercise of royal authority before the Norman Conquest. Ann Williams begins her study by investigating the establishment of the early kingdoms and the methods used to control and exploit them. Other major topics covered include the expansion of Wessex and the establishment of the West Saxon kings as kings of the English, the development of royal administration in the tenth and eleventh centuries, the Danish conquest of 1016 and its impact, and the legacy of the Old English kings to their Norman supplanters.
