Biography of England says a biography of England is worthy to be famous.

He explains a new biography of æthelstan 1,100 years since his crowning in 925ad, and reaffirms his right to be called the King of England I, explains why he is not known and highlights his many achievements that have been ignored. The author of the book, Professor David Woodman, is a campaign for a greater public recognition of the creation of England in 927 AD.

The Battle of Hastings in 1066 and signed by Magna Carta in 1215 are one of the most famous years in the history of the English language. But a few people know what happened in 925 or 927ad. Professor David Woodman, author of England’s first book at Cambridge University, a new biography of æthelstan, is determined to change this and not only with his book. He – and other historians – plans for a suitable monument for the first and unfair king in England.

“As the anniversary of the crowning of Otelistan in 925 and the birth of England itself in 927, I would like his name become better known. He really deserves it,” said Woodman, a professor at Robinson College and the Faculty of History of Cambridge.

Woodman works with other historians towards the king’s memorial, which can be a statue, plate or image in a location like Westminster or Eamont Bridge (where Otthelstan power was recognized in 927 by other British rulers) or Malmesbury (where he was buried). Woodman also calls for the history of Uthaistan to appear routinely in the curriculum.

Professor Woodman says: “There was a lot of focus on 1066, the moment when England was invaded. It is time for our thought to form it, and the person who collected it in the first place,” says Professor Woodman.

Why is æthelstan not better?

Woodman’s book, published today by Princeton University Press, blames a lack of public relations. “Æthelstan had no biography writing his story,” says Woodman. “His grandfather, the great Alfred, had the leader of the Welsh cleric to sing his praise. Within decades of the death of Otilistan, a wave of advertising guaranteed that King Edgar was famous for reforming the church. This completely overwhelmed the renewal or Thuilistan earlier in learning and security.”

In the modern era, historians tended to refuse to put Otelistan as the first king in England, on the basis that the kingdom briefly changed in 939ad. The focus instead turned into Edgar. Woodman rejects this argument.

“Just because things were disrupted after the death of Otilistan, it does not mean that he did not create England in the first place.” “He was ahead of his time in his political thinking, and his actions in combining the English kingdom were very good, so that it was surprising if the kingdom remained together. We need to realize that his legacy, his way of governance and legislation, continued to form kings after generations.”

Woodman is cited with a wealth of evidence to revive the reputation of Othtistan.

Military success

“Military, Thillastan was very strong,” says Woodman. “He had to be very strong to expand the kingdom and then defend it.”

Æthelstan had to deal with the main Viking settlements in the north and east. In the year 927 AD, he obtained a power on the Viking stronghold in York, and in bringing Northmromia inside his sovereignty, he became the first to rule a region that can be recognized as “England”.

While æthelstan expanded his kingdom, the Kings of Wales and Scottish drew in his royal societies. Native certificates are widely alive, which is located in the British Library, many nobles that were forced to attend. The meetings of æThelstan associations should be incredibly significant affairs, which include hundreds of people in total.

“These Welsh and Scottish kings should have resigned from their lands,” says Woodman. “The Poem of Wales in the tenth century is incredible, the great prophecy of Britain, calls for the slaughter of the English language. It is difficult until now, but it may be a direct response to this expansion of the strength of Uthaistan.”

After that, in 937 AD, in the famous Battle of Bronnoura, the brutality of the Viking Alliance, with the support of the Scottish and Strateclyde Welsh, was determined to overthrow it.

“The Bronnberry should be known as the Battle of Hastings,” says Woodman. “Each major Cronic in England, Wales, Ireland and Scandinavian countries surrounded this battle, its results and the number of people slaughtered. It was a very important link in the history of the newly formed English.”

Several sites have been suggested to the battle. Woodman is confident that it happened in what is now known as Bromburo on Wirral. “This site is logical strategically and the name of the name is suitable,” he says.

Government revolution

Woodman suggests that the most powerful legacy in Thuilistan depends on the “government revolution”. Legal documents from the era of Otilistan to survive in a relative abundance, argue with Woodman, took us to the heart of the type of king he was.

“King Alfred should be a role model for his grandson,” says Woodman. “Æthelstan saw that the king should be legitimized and that he had already done. He took the crime seriously.”

Once æthelstan created the English kingdom, the royal documents known as “diplomas” (in the essence of the Earth were granted by the king to the beneficiary) suddenly. It was short and direct in the past, it was converted into great data for the royal authority.

“They wrote in a more professional text and in the surprising Latin language, full of literary devices such as Rhyme, Allinteration, Chiasmus,” says Woodman. “They are designed to appear, he wanders his success.”

But Woodman also argues that the government has become increasingly effective during the era of Otilistan. “We can see it sending the laws of the law to different parts of the Kingdom, then reports to it about what was working and what changes that must be made.”

“There is also some clearest evidence that we have on the central supervision of the production of royal documents, with one royal writer responsible for their production. Regardless of where the king and the royal association traveled, the royal writer also went.”

Woodman notes that Otilistan collected England together just as parts of continental Europe were ignoring. He says: “The nobles around Europe were rising and taking land for themselves,” he says. “ÆThelstan has been keen that he was in a good position to take advantage of the disclosure of European policy by marrying a number of his sisters half in their continental homes.”

Learning and religion

Woodman argues that æThelstan reflected a decrease in the learning brought by Vikings and their destruction to the churches. Woodman says, “æthelstan was an intellectual curious, and scientists from all over Europe came to court,” says Woodman. “Learning was sponsored and was a careful supporter of the church.”

Two of Woodman’s favorite evidence is associated with the saint of Cuteber. The first, the oldest manuscript image of any English king, appears in a manuscript in the tenth century that the Parker Library at Corpos Christie, Cambridge is interested in. The head of æthelstan bends standing in front of the saint. “Everyone should know about this image, it is one of the most important pictures in the history of the English language,” says Woodman.

The manuscript was originally designed as a gift for the Saint Cutert community. Woodman says: “æthelstan has just expanded in Northomberia, and this manuscript includes the intelligence of Saint Kutbert’s life,” says Woodman. “He was trying to win them over his case.”

Woodman felt the closest of æThestan while studying Durham Lieber’s biography. This manuscript began in the ninth century, and in terms of time the people who have a special connection to the St. Kutbert community, in the golden and silver letters.

“If æthelstan appears, then many pages should be, but in the tenth century someone visited the community of St. Kutbert and wrote“ right Rex ”at the top. And seeing that this was an exciting.
