The Charters of the Early West Saxon Kingdom - Paperback

by Heather Edwards (Author)

This study of West Saxon charters includes all those that may be dated before 839, the end of the reign of Ecgberht. The charters are discussed in groups according to the monastic archive from which they come; the author seeks to establish which are authentic in whole or in part, thus identifying a body of valid evidence for the history of the West Saxon kingdom. A Glasgow PhD thesis.
