Synopsis
Forget 1066 – the making of England began centuries earlier.
After decades of devastating raids, Viking armies first overwintered in England in 850. In doing so, they opened a century of conflict and reaching ambition. In Norway, Harald Fairhair rose from a regional chieftain to become its first king, while in England Alfred the Great preserved Wessex from conquest and laid the foundations for unity. His successors extended that vision, leading to the creation of a single English kingdom after the meeting of kings at Eamont Bridge in 927.
Meanwhile, the struggle for Norway’s throne erupted among Harald’s heirs, with Eric Bloodaxe briefly claiming the Crown before being overthrown by his younger brother, Håkon. Upon fleeing to Britain, Eric was allowed the York throne by King Edred. After his violent death in 954, there would be no more kings in York.
This turbulent century saw kings rise and fall; it saw rivalry, betrayal and open conflict. Out of the chaos of shifting allegiances and warfare, England and Norway began to take shape as the forebears of the countries we know today. In First Kings, join R.A.J. Waddingham on an action-packed, page-turning adventure through the age of the Vikings.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Forget 1066, the kings featured here forged England during 100 years of Viking chaos 850-950. Vikings over-wintered in England for the first time in 850. Twelve years later Harald Fairhair is born to a regional Norwegian. Young Harald battles through all of Norway becoming its first king. Alfred the Great saves Wessex from Viking invaders. His son Edward the Elder pushes the Vikings back into northern England. Athelstan, Edward's son, becomes the first King of England in 927 and, routing Irish Vikings and Scots in England's bloodiest battle at Brunanburh in 937, his dominance is complete. Eric Bloodaxe succeeds his father becoming Norway's second king. However, Harald had fostered his youngest son Hakon with Athelstan who backs Hakon's challenge for Norway. Eric is overthrown and Hakon becomes third King of Norway. Eric flees to Britain where England's third king, Edred, allows him the throne in York. Eric soon loses that crown yet four years later he becomes King in York for a second time. In 954 Eric is slaughtered in an ambush in Cumbria. There will be no more kings in York. A 100-year Game of Thrones as kings rise and fall around the North Sea. AUTHOR: R. A. J. Waddingham is a retired consulting actuary and an Honorary Fellow of Royal Holloway, University of London.
