{"product_id":"ed-n-of-the-gaels-keith-coleman-9781526794901","title":"ﾁed疣 of the Gaels: King of the Scots","description":"This is the first full-length work devoted to ﾁed疣 mac Gabr疂n, 6th century king of D疝 Riata in Scotland. An associate of the famous St. Columba, he was the first recorded king to be ordained in the British Isles and was the most powerful ruler in his generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis astonishing military reach took him from Orkney, Pictland, Ireland, Northumbria and the Isle of Man. This book details his dominant career, which came to a shattering end after decades of warfare at the Battle of Degsaston in AD 603. Beyond the record of warfare, there is a unique and tantalizing accumulation of legend concerning ﾁed疣, from stories about his birth, to tales of him in battle with Irish heroes. English sources mention him and he is one of the few Gaelic kings to feature prominently in Welsh tradition, where he is remembered as a uniquely powerful player in the north of Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModern writers highlight ﾁed疣 as the father of a prince named Arthur, which has led to his place in Arthurian studies. ﾁed疣's prominence in his era qualifies him as a fascinating figure, whose life and legend are accessibly explored in this exciting account of this unique ruler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Coleman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152679490X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526794901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Keith Coleman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057760203007,"sku":"9781526794901","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c795849d-ab4b-41e9-a966-a5f9baaf0dd5.jpg?v=1685048736","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ed-n-of-the-gaels-keith-coleman-9781526794901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
