David Woodman traces the course of his year-long reign through the lens of contemporary sources, from the Anglo-Saxon chronicle and the vita ædwardi Regis to the bayeux tapestry, to uncover the fraught and complex politics of his life. Edward was a shrewd politician who, having endured a long period of exile from England in his youth, ascended the throne in 1042 and came to control a highly sophisticated administration. Such was his power in the mid-eleventh century that the late Anglo-Saxon coinage from his reign is the only example in Western Europe of a royal Monopoly across such a large area. What we know as 'England' Had only relatively recently come into being and Woodman constructs a portrait of an age by untangling the truth from the saintly legend and shows how the events of Edward's reign led, through many twists and turns, to the Norman conquest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241383001\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6 x 5.0 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen Lane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50124711854384,"sku":"Trans_9780241383001","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91gfQGKKC-L.jpg?v=1757501011","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/edward-the-confessor-penguin-monarchs-the-sainted-king","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
