Britain in the First Millennium

by Edward James

Published 1 December 2000
The first millennium in British history, a period framed by two invasions and conquests from across the Channel, is portrayed in this account. It covers the entire first millennium - or what might be called the "long" first millennium, from the middle of the first century BC until near the end of the eleventh century AD. The whole of Britain is studied, in its full European context, rather than as a self-sufficient island.
