It shows how tribal conflict was central to the arrival of Roman power in Britain and how tribal identities persisted through the Roman period and were a factor in three great convulsions that struck Britain during the Roman centuries. It explores how tribal conflicts may have played a major role in the end of Roman Britain, creating a ''failed state'' scenario akin in some ways to those seen recently in Bosnia and Iraq, and brought about the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons. Finally, it considers how British tribal territories and British tribal conflicts can be understood as the direct predecessors of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404660056407,"sku":"9780752446141","price":18.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/britannia-the-failed-state-9780752446141","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
