Richly illustrated, this title describes Anglo-Saxon monarchs, warlords and their warriors and households in Anglo-Saxon Britain, from the first post-Roman mercenaries to the Norman Conquest.In a country fragmented by Roman withdrawal during the 5th century AD, the employment of Germanic mercenaries by local rulers in Anglo-Saxon Britain was commonplace. These mercenaries became settlers, forcing Romano-British communities into Wales and the West Country. Against a background of spreading Christianity, the struggles of rival British and Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were exploited by the Vikings, but eventually contained by the Anglo-Saxon king, Alfred of Wessex. His descendants unified the country during the 10th century, however, subsequent weak rule saw its 25-year incorporation into a Danish empire before it finally fell to the Norman invasion of 1066. Scholars of the early Church have long known that the term 'Dark Ages' for the 5th to 11th centuries in Britain refers only to a lack of written sources, and gives a false impression of material culture. The Anglo-Saxon warrior elite were equipped with magnificent armour, influenced by the cultures of the late Romans, the Scandinavian Vendel people, the Frankish Merovingians, Carolingians and Ottonians, and also the Vikings. In this volume, co-authors Raffaele D'Amato and Stephen Pollington access their extended knowledge to paint a vivid picture of the kings and warlords of the time with the aid of colour illustrations, rare photos and the latest archaeological research.

Joyce Nassar Huna Waharina is a survivor of her own past which was filled with abuse, violence, addictions, depression & trauma, anxiety and burnout. She was under the hells of life and was abandoned medically and by those around her. She lived in a whirlpool of inner self-destruction and constant sadness. Always looking to be loved, seen and valued for who she was, not how she was supposed to function or be molded. Somewhere along the way, she lost herself in all the diagnoses she had received, living out her own self-abandonment, resistance and depression. 14 years ago, at the age of 30, she was told that this state of hopelessness, pain and permanent inner darkness was chronic and that she had to learn to live with it. This statement lit a new fire in her. She made a decision to finally live. Without even knowing what real LIFE was, she began her journey. She began to believe in herself, found ways to heal herself and activate her own self-healing powers, changed her outlook on life and became healthy. Today she stands for hope, belief in oneself and never giving up.Her poems are a journey from 1993-2010, through her darkness, depressions and moments of hope. Let yourself be inspired by a journey in darkness that led more and more into the light.
