Border Land: Frontiers of Early England

Ryan Lavelle's new book Border Land: Frontiers of Early England takes readers on a journey around the borders and edges of early medieval England. From an oak tree used as a marker by St Augustine, through Alfred’s famous treaty, to 1066 and beyond, Lavelle explores how land was divided and the ways in which boundaries were perceived.
