A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library . manner, but also, by means of a wonderful power of adaptation, became successful founders of states, even amid the most aliensurroundings. The strong tendency to unite, which was felt among the Germanicpeoples in the period of the eighth and ninth centuries, reached alsothe Anglo-Saxons, who were politically divided into seven parts, andled to the transformation of the Heptarchy into a single Anglo-Saxonkingdom by Egbert of Wessex. This change took place about thesame time when the decay of the Carolingian empire commenced, andEngland began to be scourged by the invasions of the Vikings.Egbert himself had repelled the first attack of these savage foes. Hisson and successor, Aethelwulf (836-858), had to struggle againstthem; but although he defeated them at Ockley, in Surrey, he could inot prevent strong detachments of them from wintering in the coun-try.
