Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and reign of Offa, King of Mercia, a powerful figure in Anglo-Saxon England who ruled from 755 to 794 AD. The author explores Offaââ â¢s rise to power, his military campaigns, and his political acumen in a period marked by fierce competition and frequent warfare between the various Saxon kingdoms. The book also examines Offaââ â¢s complex legacy, including his controversial role in the murder of King Ethelbert of East Anglia. Through an analysis of primary sources, including Anglo-Saxon chronicles and legal documents, the author sheds light on the political, social, and religious landscape of Offaââ â¢s era. This book is not merely a biographical study but also a window into the evolution of Anglo-Saxon institutions, from the intricate workings of the Witan to the growing influence of the Church. The author grapples with the question of Offaââ â¢s true character, noting the presence of both virtue and vice within his rule, and ultimately considers the lasting impact of his reign on the unification of England. The bookââ â¢s insights on Offaââ â¢s reign, particularly his role in shaping the future of English governance, offer a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in English history.
