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>

<p><font color="#ff0000" face="Arial" size="2"><strong>I sat up till after 4 in the morning reading this title. It’s one of the very few I’ve read that I just couldn’t put away. It’s intense drawing plot, keeps you drawn to its pages, as you wait for the outcome of each skit. I’d give this read at least a 9- but 5 is as high as it goes. This is a GREAT read!</strong></font></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong><img alt="5star.gif" height="16" src="http://margaretmarr.bravehost.com/5star.gif" width="80" />- </strong></span><font color="#ff0000" face="Arial" size="2"><strong>Plus - Reviewer Deanna for </strong></font><a><strong>Ghost Writer Reviews</strong></a></p>
