Migration Era/Viking Era England and the Anglo-Saxons Anonymous 03/19/16 (Sat) 21:59:12 4d8ed5 No.36146

Amateur military /his/torian here (Hopefully one day professional military /his/torian). I recently did some casual digging into the Migration era and the subsequent Viking era. Normally I'm very much into Antiquity, the Medieval period, and the Renaissance and Early Modern. I've never paid much attention to this one, but now I'm distinctly interested.

What reading would you recommend to educate myself on the fundamentals of this period?

Okay, I'm preparing for a shit storm but I you're looking for something that is entertaining while also giving some sort of historical context, Bernard Cornwell's novels are amazing.

The Saxon Stories, right? I can work with that, but I was also hoping for just straight up informative books as well. Either way, thanks for pointing me in literally any kind of helpful direction, anon.
