PENDA, Heathen King of Mercia: his Anglo Saxon world. - Paperback

by Pete Jennings (Author)

The first book to gather the fragmentary sources on this dynamic 7th century warrior king, who expanded his territory with war craft and politics in a time of great upheaval. The tale is told within the context of Anglo Saxon culture: food, costume, law, housing, finance, slavery and the competing Pagan & Christian religions.
