Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

An Amazon Top 1000 reviewer writes <div><br /><div>&quot;<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">When I started this book, I didn't have extremely high expectations. After all, how much good philosophical discourse can you expect at such a low price? What I discovered within the first few pages was an absolute gem. In a very concise, yet entertaining package the author manages to capture the essence of the struggle for happiness as a soul journeys through a series of very different life experiences. I couldn't put the book down after the first few pages and I intend to read it again. The synthesis of Eastern and Western conceptions of God was the most compelling that I have read or reviewed in recent memory. The development of characters, not through extensive description, but through their personal experiences really pulled me into the story and opened my eyes to perspectives that I had never really examined. I don't recall the last time that I've been given so much insight in such a small number of pages. It is clear that this is a work of deep thought and reflection. Often when I finish a book, I simply delete it from my Kindle so it doesn't clutter my first page. This book will be on my first page for a long time&quot;</span></div></div>
