Description
The struggle for power in post-Roman Britain is often overlooked in historical accounts. This book redresses the balance by exploring the extraordinary lives of British leaders from 400 to 550 AD, who seized and held power during turbulent times. Key figures such as Gerontius, Vortigern, and Ambrosius are examined, along with how they adapted to the Anglo-Saxon invasion and sought power through alliances. The book sheds new light on these often-neglected leaders, revealing their strategies and experiences in a period of significant upheaval. By examining the lives of British warlords like Cerdic, this book provides a fresh perspective on the post-Roman era, highlighting the complexities and challenges faced by those who sought to maintain power in a rapidly changing world.
