Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This captivating book re-examines the origins of Devizes, a Wiltshire town whose unique name and history have long puzzled antiquarians. The author questions the long-held belief that the town and its castle were founded in the 12th century by Roger, Bishop of Salisbury, presenting evidence and alternative theories to challenge this prevalent notion. By examining the scant historical references, the book investigates the possibility of an earlier origin for Devizes, tracing its roots to Saxon times or even further back to pre-Roman Britain. The author provides a thorough analysis of the arguments for and against Bishop Roger's involvement, offering a fresh perspective on the town's enigmatic beginnings. With meticulous research and compelling insights, this book sheds new light on the origins of Devizes, challenging established narratives and inviting readers to reconsider the rich tapestry of the town's past. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781333467302_0
