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 is a book of poetry.
But it is more than just that.
It is a very personal, no holds barred, exploration of the life I find surrounding me and within me. It is my search for and about what I view as being reality and illusion as I personally view these concepts. It is about life and death, pain and pleasure, sadness and laughter, falling in love with what we call “words”, being captured by them, picked up and tossed roughly about by them, caressed gently by them, and then slowly being set free by them to awakening from a drowsy drunken sleep to find myself having been somehow changed by the brief encounter with them, enchanted by how they tumble about to create sentences which tell tales and it is about my desire to share with others what I feel, see, laugh about, cry over, hate, love, fear, desire and am intrigued by that which I find surrounds me daily.
