{"product_id":"9781398120440","title":"Nobility and Fortune : England in the Short Tenth Century, 899-975","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 899, the accession of Edward the Elder, son of Alfred the Great, ushered in a tumultuous period that would see seven reigning kings in England over seventy-six years. It is during this turbulent time that England was transformed from an idea into a kingdom.   This is the story of the unification of a nation that includes a shadowy patriarch, a warrior princess and a dissolute reprobate. It is the story of a deeply principled archbishop and another who was corrupt, of heroic deeds and squalid misdeeds.   Above all, it is the story of an ongoing contest for power: between rival candidates for the throne, between Crown and Church, between north and south, and between the English and the Norse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55732160823672,"sku":"9781398120440","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781398120440.jpg?v=1794271486","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781398120440","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
