Description
Áedán mac Gabráin was a king of great power and influence in 6th century Scotland. His remarkable military campaigns took him across much of Britain, from Orkney to Northumbria, as well as parts of Ireland and the Isle of Man. This book tells the story of Áedán's life and career, which came to an end at the Battle of Degsaston in AD 603. Beyond his military achievements, there is a rich accumulation of legend surrounding him, including stories about his birth and tales of his bravery in battle. English sources also mention Áedán, and he plays a significant role in Welsh tradition as well. Áedán's significance in his era makes him a fascinating figure to explore, and this book provides an accessible account of his life and legacy.
