Very little is known about the battle of Carham, fought between the Scots and Northumbrians in 1018. The leaders were probably Máel Coluim II, king of Scotland, and Uhtred of Bamburgh, earl or ealdorman in Northumbria. The outcome of the battle was a victory for the Scots, seen by some as a pivotal event in the expansion of the Scottish kingdom, the demise of Northumbria and the Scottish conquest of 'Lothian'. The battle also removed a potentially significant source of resistance to the recent conqueror of England, Cnut. This collection of essays by a range of subject specialists explores the battle in its context, bringing new understanding of this important and controversial historical event. Topics covered include: Anglo-Scottish relations, the political character and ecclesiastical organisation of the Northumbrian territory ruled by Uhtred, material from the Chronicles and other historical records that brings the era to light, and the archaeological and sculptural landscape of the tenth- and eleventh-century Tweed basin, where the battle took place.

REVIEWS OF UHTRED THE BOLD - BOOK 1 IN THE SERIES The storyline was attention-grabbing all the way through and the ending was so shocking that I can't wait for book two which, I hope will bring revenge for the books' ending. Excellent!Really good read, good balance with action and story line. Some quite nice character development as well.It's always interesting to read a new take on historical figures, and the story of Uhtred the Bold as told here is very engaging. This is a very good book and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.BOOK DESCRIPTIONIn 1018 Malcolm, King of Scots, is determined to avenge the crushing defeat inflicted on him by Uhtred of Bebbanburg a dozen years before. Lothian had been a land fought over by the Scots and the Northumbrians for over half a century and now its conquest becomes Malcolm's overriding priority. It seems that he cannot fail as the Northumbrian leadership is split in twain. Earl Eadwulf is inept and Aldred, Uhtred's son, is the best hope the Northumbrians have of defeating Malcolm. The two are bound by family ties - Aldred is Eadwulf's nephew - but bitter adversaries because Eadwulf murdered Uhtred to become earl.Can they put aside their hatred for one another to face their joint enemy?On a hot August day the Scots and the Northumbrians meet on the field of battle just outside Carham. The outcome will decide the border between England and Scotland for all time to come.

The border between Scotland and England is rich in history. It has been the site of battles, treaties, castles and crossroads. It is also a place where both countries display their nationalism: Saltires flying in the north, the Cross of St George to the south. But it can also be a lens through which to look at the changing history and identities of these two countries. Alistair Moffat is a life-long borderer and the ideal guide on this one-hundred-mile journey. We begin just north of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Already the battlelines have been drawn – the town having been grabbed by the English from Berwickshire in 1482 and never given back. From here we will head west as our tour travels backwards and forwards through history. In all, we will walk through eight centuries before we reach our journey’s end at the mouth of the River Sark. Between Britain is a history book, a travelogue, a personal reminiscence and a gently prodding examination of national identity. But above all it is a celebration of a place and the people who live there.
