The Two Kingdoms

by Meriol Trevor

This is the story of the bitter seventh century struggle between Northumbria and Mercia that ends with the defeat of the Mercian heathen. Behind all is the civilising influence of the Saints Oswald, Aidan and Wilfred, which gradually broke down the savage barbarism and ignorance of post-Roman Britain.
