ISBN10: 0752488724, ISBN13: 9780752488721, [publisher: The History Press Ltd, United Kingdom, Stroud] Softcover After more than 200 years of menacing Viking attacks, England finally fell under Danish control in 1016. While earlier kings of Wessex had pushed back the tide of Danish encroachment, wave after wave of incursions from powerful Scandinavian raiders such as fierce Thorkill the tall, wily Olaf Tryggvason and the redoubtable Swein Forkbeard caused Aethelred IIs English forces to eventually buckle under the mounting pressure. Though losing and then regaining his kingdom through force of arms makes him one of only two English monarchs ever to do so, Aethelreds military reputation has, as a result of bias, become irrevocably tarnished. And no less misunderstood is his son Edmund (Ironside), whose energetic campaign against Cnut in 1016 would decide Englands fate. An Onslaught of Spears comprehensively chronicles the events in England from the late eighth century to Cnuts victory in 1016. Linking the Danish invasion to the Norman conquest that took place just fifty years later and challenging the myth of Aethelred the Unready, Jeffrey Jamess military history of this turbulent period reveals the true nature of Englands armies and her kings. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
