A History Military and Municipal of the Town (Otherwise Called the City) Of Marlborough: And More Generally of the Entire Hundred of Selkley (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A History Military and Municipal of the Town (Otherwise Called the City) Of Marlborough: And More Generally of the Entire Hundred of Selkley
The charm of the present History, therefore, (if it have any) must of necessity be retrospective; and while the transplantation of the name of Marlborough to a score of new sites in the Colonies guarantees for the original a representative futurity, the burgesses of the old town may, not without a dash of self-gratulation, appmpriate the motto of the noble house of Bruce.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the history of Marlborough and the surrounding region in Wiltshire, England. Going back to the Norman conquest and beyond, the author takes us through a rich and fascinating account of the development of the region up to the Civil War. The history of Marlborough sheds light on the history of Britain as a whole. The town's prominent role in the conflict between Empress Matilda and King Stephen in the 12th century highlights the political instability of the period. Similarly, the book's recounting of the town's enthusiastic reception of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War reflects the complex religious and political divisions of the 17th century. As well as exploring the town's medieval origins and its role in several periods of British history, the author investigates the legends and traditions associated with Marlborough, such as the legend of Merlin the wizard. The book is a meticulously researched account of this historic English town and its place within the broader historical landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332950980_0
