Wulf the Saxon: A Story of the Norman Conquest

A young thane named Wulf comes of age amid the political and military turmoil surrounding the Norman claim to England. The narrative follows his training, court life, and encounters with monks and local tenants, while unfolding wider tensions—rival earls, Welsh unrest, and alliances with Normandy and Norway. Wulf's patriotism and skills are tested through voyages, plots and an assassination attempt, leading to participation in the northern campaign and the decisive clashes at Stamford Bridge and Hastings. Interwoven with action are sketches of feudal society, monastic influence, and the challenges faced by native nobles adapting to foreign rule.
