Description
In 1043 AD, two young men become foster sons to a Norse Jarl. Growing up in eleventh century Norway, their hunting exploits will prepare them for a life as warriors under their King, Harald Sigurdsson. The year 1066 AD brings three battles in England: Fulford, Stamford and Hastings. The Norse and Normans clash with the Saxons in a struggle for power, resulting in the deaths of kings, jarls and English earls, alongside thousands of ordinary men. Amidst the chaos, these young warriors will find fleeting fame and history as they fight to protect their lord. Their bravery will be tested as they stand in the shieldwall, facing spear thrusts, sword strokes and axe blows. This is a story of war, power and sacrifice, set against the backdrop of one of England's most pivotal years.
