Summary
The ninth century was a period of upheaval in England. As the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex vied for supremacy, and East Anglia and Kent sought to regain their independence, the arrival of the Vikings introduced a further element of unrest. This interdisciplinary collection of papers by historians, numismatists and philologists considers fundamental aspects of the period's political and economic history.
