Summary
"A translation, with scholarly commentary, of the 'Res Gestae Saxonum,' the most important contemporary narrative source for the history of the Saxon German kingdom in the tenth century. Providing a continuous account of the entire reigns of the first two kings of the Saxon dynasty, its focus is primarily political and military, but it also discusses social and cultural topics such as religion, architecture, education, court life, and trade"-- Provided by publisher.
