About the Author By the time I was forty, chronic depression had left me without a job, friends or family for emotional support. Depression had left me too ill to work, so I took a few classes in college. Clay opened up new avenues of joy and poetry gave me a way to turn my depression into inspirational writing and art to help myself as well as others. I, at last, had purpose in my life when I began writing and making art. The last ten years I've been on a journey out of my own isolation and back into the world again. My paperback has over 50 full-color images of my art. I've been accumulating wonderful friends on the web. Let me introduce them to you. Come visit my websites for music, poetry, meditation videos, fun and profit. Buy my books for stocking stuffers and gifts for those you love!!! Joyce White
Godwine Kingmaker: Part One of The Last Great Saxon Earls
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>
