David Woodman's highly acclaimed new biography of Athelstan - published on 2nd September to coincide with the 1100th anniversary of Athelstan's coronation - is receiving widespread attention. We are very pleased David has agreed to speak about 'Athelstan and the Birth of a Kingdom' in Malmesbury.
The talk is being jointly presented by Athelstan 1100, Athelstan Museum and Malmesbury's Wessex Week team with the support of Barn Owl Books and Princeton University Press.
David is Professor and Fellow in History at Robinson College, University of Cambridge and one of the today's leading historians of the early medieval period.
David will be happy to sign copies of his book 'The First King of England - Athelstan and the Birth of a Kingdom' at the talk.
