This book examines the process of change that transformed Roman Britain into a patchwork of early medieval kingdoms. It also discusses new archaeological and historical evidence to argue against warfare and economic collapse as explanations. Instead, emphasis is placed on how elites attempted to maintain their control and power in a time of change.
