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
When I heard Wayne Dyer say "Don't die with your song still inside you," I decided to share my gift, this book, with the world right away. My original plan was to write an autobiography, but the Universe took me in a slightly different direction sharing what I've learned throughout my life about creating happiness by making wise choices.
Just as I was starting to write my book I discovered that a new field of psychology, positive psychology, had begun. This field focuses on studying the strengths and virtues that enable people and communities to thrive. The researchers are uncovering amazing findings, some of which are the same things our grandmas told us.
