Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England 

byEleanor Parker

The Battle of Hastings and its aftermath nearly wiped out the leading families of Anglo-Saxon England – so what happened to the children this conflict left behind? Conquered rests its case on archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. Conquered also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in history and literary criticism. The book leaves readers with a clearer understanding of the last children of anglo-saxon england and of the unresolved questions that continue beyond its final chapter.
