In 8th century Mercia, King Offa lusts for power. His queen, Cynethryth, is an ambitious politician minting her own coins - a first for any woman in the male-dominated era.Amid societal changes, the two navigate power struggles, revolts and alliances in the tumultuous Anglo-Saxon Britain, leaving their mark during a pivotal time in English history.But where is Offa's place among the English kings, and who is the real force in his reign? There is little concrete evidence, but in OFFA - REX MERCIORUM, John Broughton breaks through the veil of time and provides an entertaining, well-researched historical tale.This is the large print edition of Offa - Rex Merciorum, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
