This volume covers the history of the British Isles from the Vikings to the Norman conquest. Seven chapters contributed by an international team of leading historians cover key themes of this period such as monarchies and other political structures, economic developments, the Christianization of society, and relationships between Britain, Ireland, and the Mediterranean civilizations to the south. The text also offers a number of challenges to accepted orthodoxies about the nature and development of the separate areas of early medieval Britain.
