Northumberland by Ruper Matthews

Northumberland is one of the most beautiful counties in England, but also one of the most fought over. It has seen countless skirmishes, some very bloody, between invading and looting Scots and the avenging English families of the Percies, Umfravilles and Nevilles. Rupert Matthews, 'the History Man', presents fifteen guided walks around the battlefields of Northumberland. He provides an account of events as they unfolded on the ground along with full background and context. His expertise, descriptive powers and lively enthusiasm bring the drama of history vividly to life.
Rupert Matthews is a freelance author and editor. He has written more than 100 books for adults and children on a range of non-fiction subjects.
