The collapse of Roman rule in Britain was not so much a sudden catastrophe as a long and drawn-out decline. The 'Celtic' Britons retreated gradually to the highland areas of Wales, Cornwall and the south-west of Scotland. Control of the fertile eastern lowlands was lost to warriors of Germanic origin who migrated from the Continent. These Germanic conquerors have become known to history as the 'Anglo-Saxons'. They were to dominate the lowland zone of Britain until their final defeat at Hastings in 1066. This title gives an insight into the everyday life, equipment, dress, battle tactics and life on campaign of the typical Anglo-Saxon warrior of this period – the thegn.

If you're familiar with Osprey's work this book should be a familiar read. It's very concise and has several beautiful color plates. This isn't the full story of the Anglo Saxons or of Anglo Saxon England. It doesn't even cover the Burghs in great detail. But it does cover a lot of Anglo Saxon history and culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, useful, relatively up to date
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is a better-than-average Osprey book giving illustrations of what an Anglo-Saxon Thegn might well have been wearing and carrying between the arrival of the English and the Norman invasion. It is relatively speculative compared to many other Osprey titles. Although the illustrations are good and documentary material is supplied in some places, this is not carefully argued like Gale Owen-Crocker's Dress in Anglo-Saxon England, and there are places where the relative paucity of sources make it hard for the illustrator to do more than show the finds we have (such as the Coppergate Helmet) and assume that they are thegn items.

Nonetheless, good, useful, and relatively up to date.

4.0 out of 5 stars poursuit en partie ce qui est abordé dans "arthur and the anglo saxons wars"
Reviewed in France on May 1, 2021
Verified Purchase
Ce livre est bien.
Du point de vue "saxon" ; il complète et poursuit (va jusqu'en 1066) ce qui est abordé dans "arthur and the anglo saxons wars" du même éditeur. Mais il y a quelques répétitions entre les deux livres, du coup, au sujet des casques et autres fers de lance.
Certains paragraphes , comme les croyances des saxons, ou l'habitat, etc, sont tout à fait passionnants.
