• The tenth century in England, a century of conflict, a century of war, and a century of the violent push for total power. The contenders. the Anglo Saxons, the Vikings and the Danes. They all held a part of the country, they all wanted more, they all wanted to be the ultimate power, the rulers, the king makers. But only one could ultimately rule over all the land, only one could shed enough blood to drown the others. Death was treated with contempt, it had no meaning, it was a sacrifice everyone was willing to make, in order to achieve the ultimate aim. VICTORY. The century threw up heroes, men of immense bravery, men of courage and fortitude, men who would become legends. The century was littered with monarchs who threw themselves into the fray for the chance to be the overall, KING OF ENGLAND. This book is a story of the Rulers and of their Protectors, the time lines are accurate, the kings and queens are real, their personal experiences are possible but not recorded as are the stories of their protectors.
