Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England

The Battle of Hastings left behind a generation of children who found themselves uprooted by the dramatic events of 1066.

Conquered offers a fresh take on the Norman Conquest by exploring the lives of these young men and women, who bravely navigated a changing world and shaped the country England was to become.

From sagas and saints’ lives to chronicles and romances, Parker draws on a wide range of medieval sources to tell their stories of endurance, adaptation, and vulnerability.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of England and the impact of the Norman Conquest on its people.
