When Paul Gething opened an archaeologist?s old suitcase he rediscovered a rusty length of metal excavated at Bamburgh Castle three decades earlier, which scientific analysis revealed to be a 7th-century sword of uniquely high quality. In this book the authors explain how and why such pattern-welded swords were produced and describe a project to study the weapon and to recreate it using technologies available to the original swordsmith.

It is the story of a violent time when Britain was defining itself in waves of religious fervour, scattered tribal expansion and terrible bloodshed, it is the story of the fighting class, men apart, defined in life and death by their experiences on the killing field, it is an intricate and riveting narrative of survival and adaptation set in the political and physical landscapes of medieval England. 'Warrior' is a classic of British history, a landmark of popular archaeology, and a must read for all Uhtred fans and anyone interested in the story of where we've come from.
