Krátky popis
Edward the Confessor, the last great king of Anglo-Saxon England,
canonized nearly 100 years after his death, is in part a figure of
myths created in the late middle ages. In this revealing portrait
of England's royal saint, David Woodman traces the course of
Edward's twenty-four-year-long reign through the lens of
contemporary sources, from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the Vita
AEdwardi Regis to the Bayeux Tapestry, to separate myth from
history and uncover the complex politics of his life. He shows
Edward to be a shrewd politician who, having endured a long period
of exile from England in his youth, ascended the throne in 1042 and
came to control a highly sophisticated and powerful
administration.The twists and turns of Edward's reign are generally
seen as a prelude to the Norman Conquest in 1066. Woodman explains
clearly how events unfolded and personalities interacted but,
unlike many, he shows a capable and impressive king at the centre
of them.
