Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Wars of Wessex: Being Studies From England's, School of Arms in the West We cannot claim any exclusive documentary information. The sources from which these studies have been drawn are Open to anyone who cares to hunt them up, and we have done our best to indicate them. Our only claim in this respect is that we have tried to read existing material in the light of later research in an attempt to bring what may be old discussions up to date. Except in the pages of Professor W. G. Collingwood's Scandi navian Britain, where the matter is dealt with as part of a wider subject', we are not aware of any study of the Scandinavian invasions of Western England on which some special knowledge of northern antiquities has been brought to bear, and it is possible that we may have been able to throw some fresh light from the northern point of view on the events of a critical stage of English History.
