Consacré à l'histoire britannique du premier millénaire, cet essai retrace les siècles qui séparent la conquête romaine de la "Bretagne" en 43 après J.-C par l'empereur Claude de l'invasion normande, après la victoire de Guillaume le Conquérant à Hastings en 1066.
"The modern British are a nation of immigrants. This book spans a period of a thousand years of their history. Its framework is the gradual transformation of mainland Britain under the impact of various indvading peoples.
"The original inhabitants, the Celtic-speaking Britons (ancestors of today's Welsh), were overcome by the Romans after AD 43. There was initial, bitter resistance, culminating in the savage revolt of Boudica 60-61, but for over three centuries Britain was a relatively prosperous province of the Roman Empire."
