Alfred's Dynasty by W B Bartlett
New paperback edition - A tale of scheming, power struggles, conflict and the birth of England as we know it today. W. B. Bartlett, author of Vikings, tells the story of Alfred the Great and his descendants, and reasserts their right to be regarded as one of history's great Royal dynasties.
'This book offers a look into several important kings from early medieval England, and would be a useful introduction to this period of English history' -- Medievalists, June 2024
'Highly recommended if you are at all interested in this period.' -- Family and Community Historical Research Society, Spring 2025
'Once again, this is well-balanced and expertly presented summary of the rule of Ecgberht, his descendants, and of the impact of the 'Viking' incursions. It is a political history, so the focus is very much on the kings, rather than the broader governance of the kingdom. I would strongly recommend.' -- Reads, Writes, Reviews, May 2025
