Publishers Note 



Early Wars of Wessex is the title of a series of studies in 

 the history of the pre-Norman period. Their distinguishing 

 feature is that, while dealing only with the warfare that took 

 place in a comparatively limited area between Saxon and 

 Briton and Saxon and Dane, they show, nevertheless, that 

 these "battles of the kites and crows," as Milton con- 

 temptuously called them, had a far-reaching influence on the 

 future of England.
