The Angloid Bundle

The Making of England in Four Volumes

A thousand years of English history in four books: the six centuries that turned Roman ruin into a kingdom, the king who saved it, the king who forged Britain around it, and the king who carried its banner to the gates of France. Three of the finest narrative historians writing in English — Marc Morris, Justin Pollard, and Dan Jones — take the story from Sutton Hoo to Agincourt.

What’s Included

The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England, 400–1066 by Marc Morris — the origin story. From the departure of the legions to the eve of Hastings: the migrations, the heptarchy, the Viking storm, and the slow assembly of a single English realm, built from Bede, the Chronicle, and the gold of Sutton Hoo.

Alfred the Great: The Man Who Made England by Justin Pollard — the founder. The only English king ever called ‘the Great’: fugitive in the Somerset marshes in 878, victor at Edington, builder of the burhs, the navy, the law code, and the very idea of England.

A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain by Marc Morris — the state-builder. Crusader, castle-builder, Hammer of the Scots: the definitive one-volume life of the king who welded Britain together by force. Hardcover edition.

Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England’s Greatest Warrior King by Dan Jones — the apex. Agincourt, the conquest of Normandy, and an English king named heir to France, dead at thirty-five with the job unfinished.
