The Rape of England (Paperback)

Here is a powerful story, where you can feel the tension, relive the actions and be amazed at the intrigue. The story covers just one tumultuous year, from Christmas Day 1065 to Christmas Day 1066; you will meet the heroes who stood against overwhelming odds and the traitors who sold their country for a price. What was it like to stand behind an English shield-wall on foot, against charging cavalry? What was it like to see 10,000 Vikings sack Scarborough? What was it like to be at the battles of Stamford Bridge and Hastings? What was it like to see the rape of your beloved country? Read the real story as told from the English point of view, instead of that of the victors, the Normans.
