Perhaps England should realise it's in trouble when King Edward the Confessor takes one look at his naked bride and decides to remain chaste. This signals a lack of royal offspring and a succession crisis that becomes so important it causes the vultures flock to fight even before he's ill, let alone dead. The jockeying for position as next in line to the throne or next in line's favourite has begun. Indeed England is famous for its royal succession wars and this is one of the best; a story of a journey that will finish in near Hastings as a deadly stand-off between King Harold Godwinson and Norman Duke William in that year that every British school child is taught: 1066.
[[:Category:G K Holloway|G K Holloway]] (Glynn to his mum) has always been fascinated by history. In fact this novel was written after the author read a biography of King Harold. Glynn demonstrates his readiness to become an author as this book announces his arrival on the hist-fict scene in true style.
