The Lords of Battle: Image and Reality of the Comitatus in D - Conal - 09-20-2007
"The Lords of Battle: Image and Reality of the Comitatus in Dark Age Britain"
I bought this book for £15 in July 2006 ... its now costing £98.31 to £130.00 2nd hand for teh paperback ..... and £438.19 for the hard back ... is it me or are they taking the P ???
"Civitas to Kingdom: British Political Continuity 300-800" ..this one ( i have been after for ages! ) has dropped to £200.00 2nd hand ... the fact they had to drop the price should have told them something :?
It tees me off somewhat

What that book about?
Civitas to Kingdom I have, you don´t really need it if you have Dark´s second book about this subject, which is also much cheaper I suspect... :wink:

The book is about the structure of the Comitatus, the post Roman warlords and their retainers ...lots of stuff about earning your mead, I believe that they were in fact just drinking clubs:roll:
Its a good read but not worth £98!!!!!
This one ? "Britain and the End of the Roman Empire"

I note that this seller is in Australia ...the others are US based so I think he has not been doing his research .... :roll:

Could be, but my guess is that it is a bookstore selling a second hand copy as most sellers do on abebooks (and therefore the quantity of 1 is stated). Maybe worth the try for anybody interested.
If not, there is another seller on abebooks offering this book for 107 dollars (54 UK Pounds).

Best wishes and good bargain hunting for those looking for this book,
