The rise and fall of the Kingdom of Man – Andrew McDonald

Discover the medieval empire of the Isle of Man and the Hebrides, and how a dynasty of sea kings rose to power.

On a small island in the Irish Sea, fortresses preside over the rugged shores. This unlikely location was the birthplace of a medieval empire that lasted 200 years. Rulers built coastal fortresses on cliffs, roved the seaways, and threw themselves into epic battles to consolidate control over an impressive maritime kingdom. Andrew McDonald uncovers this forgotten dynasty of sea kings.
