Produktbeschreibung

"Now the Normans neared the standard, where Harold had stayed striving to the utmost, but the arrow had wounded him in the eye and he suffered piteously from the pain. A Norman baron sprang from the battle and hit him on the aventail of his helmet and beat him down. He did his best to get up again, but another knight

beat him on the thigh through to the bone..."

Book Three in this series includes this account of the Battle of Hastings based on Wace's Roman de Rou. Other stories include the adventures of a housecarl who, after the defeat at Hastings, joins the Varangian Guard, a story about the young Artorius (later to become King Arthur), and an account of the death of Starkad, the great Viking of all.

This was followed by many more publications, including a wide range of fiction, drama and poetry and his "masterpiece" pentalogy, English Dawn. He is married to a Filipina, has four children, and is currently a retired and living in the Philippines.
