Publisher's Synopsis
In Kings and Queens of Early Britain, Geoffrey Ashe skilfully weaves all the different accounts, legends, literature, historical documents into one continuous narrative that recreates in intriguing detail all the rulers and events, real or mythical, that are part of the rich tapestry of early history in Britain. The result is a fascinating and very readable account starting with the legendary 'founding of Britain' reputedly by Brutus the Trojan somewhere around 1100 BC and ending with Alfred, the greatest of the Saxon kings, in AD 871.
