• An all-new version of the 1,200-year-old historical annals commissioned by King Alfred.
• Including 'The Life of Alfred', by Bishop Asser.
• Freshly updated for a 21st century audience.
• Introduced by historian, folklorist and venerable Blackadder chronicler JF Roberts, with an all-new in-depth essay.
• Illustrated with 10 unique photographs from JF Roberts' personal archive
The third in historian JF Roberts' new series of introductions to the ancient texts of British history, in audio and print.
We still know the 9th century English King Alfred as 'The Great' partly due to his military successes, but mainly because of his trailblazing as a propagandist – he knew the value of a good write-up, and is believed by many to have commissioned the most learned scribes in Saxon England to record the events of every year of his rule, and beyond.
This new edition of the Anglo Saxon Chronicle also includes his biography, as written during his lifetime by the Bishop Asser – and is introduced with a whole new contextualising essay from author and historian (and official Blackadder chronicler) JF Roberts.
