Britain during the Dark Ages is the setting for the fascinating story of Bega, a young Irish princess who became a saint, and her lifelong bond with Padric, prince of the north-western kingdom of Rheged. This dramatic, far-reaching tale brings to life a land of warring kings, Christians and pagans, and tribes divided by language and culture, illuminating a little-known yet critical period in British history.

This book, about a woman named Bega in Dark Ages Ireland and Britain, was overlong and flawed but I really enjoyed it. All of the details were the kind I‘m interested in, and the religious histrionics were the sort of thing I can‘t get enough of.

Gotta read some Venerable Bede now.
