Early Medieval Towns in Britain - Jeremy Haslam
Early Medieval Towns in Britain - Jeremy Haslam   Towns have been a place of evolution and development throughout British history, growing from royal ‘wics’ between the seventh and ninth centuries, to characteristic Viking towns in the later nineth and early tenth centuries, then changing following the Norman Conquest in 1066. Using archaeological, topographical and documentary material, this book provides an extensive and detailed insight into recent ideas about the developments of towns in England in the latter half of the first millennium to AD 1140.
