Edward the Confessor by Frank Barlow
This biography of Edward the Confessor, first published in 1970, aims to rescue the image of the King from what the author sees as myth and bogus scholarship. Disentangling fact from legend, the text recreates the final years of the Anglo-Danish monarchy and examines England before the Normans.
'Professor Barlow has constructed a remarkable book.. deploying all the resources of formidable scholarship, he has recovered the real Edward' - Spectator 'An intellectual exercise of the highest order' - The Times
Frank Barlow was Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Exeter until his death in 2009.
