Description
A new epic history of Britain's forgotten past is revealed in Lost Realms. Thomas Williams brings together archaeological revelations and written sources to rebuild a lost world, one that was home to nine kingdoms whose stories are shrouded in myth and legend. From the Scottish Highlands to the Cornish coastline, Williams uncovers the origins and untimely demise of these kingdoms, exploring why some prospered while others fell. The result is a rich tapestry of history, featuring the Picts, Britons, Saxon migration, magic, war, myth, and miracle. With new insights into the world of Arthur, Bede, Taliesin, and the ancient dead, Lost Realms offers a fresh perspective on Britain's 'Dark Ages'.
