English Monarchs: Edward The Confessor by Frank Barlow 1970 First Edition

Frank Barlow's magisterial biography, first published in 1970 and now reissued with new material, rescues Edward the Confessor from contemporary myth and subsequent bogus scholarship. Disentangling verifiable fact from saintly legend, he vividly re-creates the final years of the Anglo-Danish monarchy examining England before the Norman Conquest with deep insight and great historical understanding.
