HISTORIA: A Gateway to Ancient and Medieval History and Archaeology!
This book introduces the reader to one of the most important and moving literary works to come out of Dark Age Britain: TheGododdin of Aneirin.
The Gododdin is not only a praise poem and elegy for three hundred British warriors who made a heroic last stand against the invaders of their island, it is also an important source for understanding the culture, people, and events of the seventh century.
In this book, the reader will learn about the poem itself, the historical background, as well as the archaeological evidence that has come to light.
The Gododdin is an inspiring, tragic tribute to 'three hundred gold-torqued warriors', composed by a man who was their contemporary and friend who sought to ensure their sacrifice would never be forgotten.
If you are studying The Gododdin itself, or have an interest in Celtic, Arthurian, or Dark Age studies, then you will enjoy this short study of the heroic last stand of three hundred men against thousands, an act of historical bravery worthy of the successors of Arthur himself.
