Synopsis

The BBC/CBS King and Conqueror told the story of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Yet the previous half-century, that brought Saxon England to its fate, is largely unknown. It was even more dramatic, even more bloody.

In the era of King Aethelred ‘The Unready’, of Knut (Canute), Edward the Confessor, and Lady Godiva, Godwin Wulfnothson is destined to become the most powerful man in the land.

After his father's treason, young Godwin is forced to join the army of Prince Edmund "Ironside". Sent on a routine mission to guard Edward's younger siblings, he finds himself caught up in an invasion of Kent by the fearsome Viking Jarl Thorkell the Tall.

Meanwhile the cunning Eadric of Mercia plots to save his lands from the Danish King Sveyn Forkbeard, Queen Emma tries to guide her husband the "King of Handflapping" Aethelred, handmaid Fleada is drawn ever deeper into events as her mistress becomes a political pawn. And shepherd boy Walt, orphaned by Vikings, seeks a new place in a land of cruelty and neglect.

Beset by Viking raids and hindered by the plots of its own nobility, can England resist the tides of Danish power and Norman ambition?

Part of The Crown and The Arrow series – the dramatic saga of Saxon England as it moves inexorably towards its fate in 1066.

“First-class historical fiction”
“A bubbling cauldron of excitement, intrigue and lust”
“Up there with the Cornwells, the Follets, and the Gregories”
