A Note-worthy Anglo-Saxon History & Translation
Michael Swanton, Professor of Medieval studies at the University of Exeter, not only provides an outstanding translation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicals but also brings to the reader, an incorporation of his own educational knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon period. He enriches the translation of these historical documents by adding extensive footnotes as well as maps and descendancy charts. He carefully delineates among the Chronicles available from that time and incorporates the latest current knowledge about the Anglo-Saxon times. I highly recommend this book to the historian or the genealogist interested in Anglo-Saxon history.
