Cerdic Elesing, King of Wessex and ancestor of all subsequent British monarchs, narrates in this fictional biography how he murdered, cheated, looted and lied his way to the great position he ultimately held—and in the process served with the great Roman leader Ambrosius and the Saxon warlord Aella, and was the foe Arthur defeated at Mount Badon.

Condition

The book itself is in very good condition. The dustwrapper is a little rubbed and chipped to the edges and has had a label removed to the based of the spine leaving a scuff (there is no indication the book is ex-library). The wrapper has not been price-clipped.
