Fatal Rivalry: Part Three of The Last Great Saxon Earls
Description
<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>
Story Behind The Book
This story is a fictional tale that closely mirrors true events that have happened in my life; all of my teachers have expressed to me the importance of sharing the skills that I’ve learned from them. These skills and teachings primarily come from a Native American philosophy and they’re not mine to posses or hold secret. My teachers learned it from their teachers, and the teachers before them and so on. Each generation passes down these skills with respect and reverence to those they feel guided to teach. I have been guided to share these skills in this way.
