The book is devoted to one of the most understudied periods of British history - between the departure of the Roman legions from this territory in the early 5th century and the arrival of Christian missionaries in the late 6th century, when the kingdoms of early medieval Britain were formed. This time is also referred to as the "time of King Arthur". Everyone has heard the legend of King Arthur, the leader of the Britons of the V-VI centuries, who defeated the invading Saxons and created the society of the Knights of the Round Table, but experts have not yet come to a consensus on whether there was a historical prototype of Arthur. Most researchers believe that the stories told about him, owe their origin to the activities of some other king, and offer many versions. Max Adams leaves such discussions aside and aims to show the era as a whole on historical material rather than on the basis of myths. He writes about Britain's independence, its links with the rest of Europe, and archaeological research, including the "ecological context" of generational life and living. The book is illustrated with black and white illustrations and maps.
