THE HISTORY FILE

NEW WORDS
TO THE READER

Viking Conquest! takes place early in the 11th century, when Anglo-Saxons and Vikings (from Scandinavia) were fighting to control England. The setting is real. So are all the main characters: Edmund Ironside, Ethelred the Unready, Canute, Lady Edith, and Lord Streona. The events actually happened, too, and I’ve woven them into this story to bring alive one of the most exciting times in our eventful history.
