Accessible history of the Normans - the only people to ever invade the British Isles

1066 is perhaps the most important date in English history. The elite Normans themselves brought England much closer to Continental Europe, and brought in novel styles of military training. This title explores their lifestyle and the ways in which they interacted with the Anglo-Saxon English as they changed the face of the country forever.

From prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, the Welsh Borders were the scene of continual strife, as can be seen from the Iron Age and Roman forts, Offa's Dyke and the wealth of medieval castles to be found here. This title informs and delight both local residents and visitors to the border counties.
