To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. 6 82 THE FINAL STAGES OF [BK I of conquest. Possibly Beorhtric's attitude was influenced by that of his father-in-law, but it is almost a commonplace to say that Wessex trouble with Mercia was the opportunity of Dyvnaint, and the close alliance that now existed between the two kingdoms gave the Britons no opening for aggression. His reign is marked only by the coming of the first ships of the Northmen to Dorset. Beorhtric died in 800, and Ecgberht took the throne.
It is worth noticing that w...ith Ecgberht continental methods of warfare came into England. Being of the line of Ceawlin he had fled from the court of Offa on the accession of Beorhtric of the line of Cuthwulf, and the marriage of the latter with Ofifa's daughter. There is no doubt that he had a strong party in Wessex who looked for his return ; but for some reason, which may well have been the wish to save his country from civil war, he chose to remain with Charlemagne. With that great captain he learnt all that was to be learnt of successful warfare, and there is no doubt that his extraordinary and rapid conquest of the whole of England was due to his personality and methods.
