The Birth of Britain (Complete Edition)

The greatest scholar in Christendom was a Northumbrian monk. The most popular stylist was a West Saxon abbot. The Apostle of Germany was Boniface from Devon. The revival of learning in the Empire of Charlemagne was directed by Alcuin of York.

The kingdom of Kent may lose its ancient primacy, Northumbria make way for Mercia; but Canterbury and York remain.
