Produktinformationen zu „Shield Wall “
It is nearly a thousand years since England was invaded in 1066. But not many people know that the seeds of the Norman Conquest were sown nearly fifty years earlier, during the height of the Viking Age. Vivid, compelling and firmly rooted in fact, Shieldwall begins during the reign of Ethelred the Unready in 1066 and brings to life a vividly drawn cast of characters, including Macbeth, Godwin, Canute and Harald Hardrada, as well as fascinating and powerful women, such as Lady Godiva and Emma of Normandy who married two kings and gave birth to two more. Beautifully evoking 11th century England, Shieldwall chronicles a period of unprecedented change, immigration and upheaval - the destruction of Christendom¿s most vibrant civilisation and the eventual survival and reforging of the English nation.
