{"product_id":"warlords-stuart-laycock-9780752447964","title":"Warlords: The Struggle for Power in Post-Roman Britain","description":"They say that history is written by the victors, and consequently there is a tendency for the Britons to be forgotten in the story of the end of Roman Britain and the post-Roman period. \u003ci\u003eWarlord\u003c\/i\u003e will redress this balance looking at the extraordinary lives of British leaders from 400-550 and the strategies they used to seize and hold power during these turbulent times. The book focuses on key figures who have been largely neglected in history over the last 30 years. Starting with Gerontius, who rebelled against the Roman establishment, the story then turns the key figures of Vortigern and Ambrosius, who were faced with the Anglo-Saxon invasion, and finishes with a look at how British warlords such as Cerdic were forced to adapt to the situation and were compelled to seek power by working with the new Anglo-Saxon powerbase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Laycock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752447963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752447964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Stuart Laycock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443653390591,"sku":"9780752447964","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4e8274b-2b73-4daf-91d0-6221f35a181b.jpg?v=1777206906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warlords-stuart-laycock-9780752447964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
