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>

Reviews
I have read all six books in this series, and each book gave the characters a new light. I just finished the series, 10 minutes ago, and it was absolutely one of the best series I have read in a very long time. Jeff and Beth have come full circle, and I am sad to see it end. I would love for this series to continue from generation to generation. My husband was in Nam so I was able to relate to the war stories and also learned alot from it. This author is a wonderful writer and I highly recommend all 6 of these books. Sit back relax and enjoy the read from beginning to end... <br /><strong>Nancy Crerar ~ New York</strong>
