Between the turn of the millennium in the year 1000 and the climactic Battle of Hastings in 1066, the rule of England was a complex process. Between Anglo-Saxons, Danes and Normans, the webs of family ties, loyalty and enemies stretched over the North Sea and the throne changed hands many times. In this book Holloway shows how the separate strands linked and how history was made. It is a complicated tale (many protagonists have similar names) but reads like an Early Medieval epic.
