Bloomsbury presents Battle for the Island Kingdom by Don Hollway, read by John Sackville.

SHORTLISTED FOR MILITARY HISTORY MATTERS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024

Includes all the key individuals that inspired the final season of Netflix's Vikings: Valhalla and the brand-new BBC drama King and Conqueror.

Bloody battles, political intrigues and dynastic marriages all played a part in shaping a nascent England. Battle for the Island Kingdom is a rich history of the violent six decades when Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and ultimately Normans vied for the English crown before the seismic Battle of Hastings determined the fate of England for centuries.

Discover the defining personalities of the age, from the English king Aethelred and his nemesis Viking Svein Forkbeard to Cnut who forged an empire across England and Scandinavia only for his Norman queen Emma and Saxon consort Aelfifu to pit his sons against each other. We discover how the power-hungry Earl Godwin plays all sides until his own son Harold eventually seizes the crown and why Harold's brother Tostig chose to betray both him and his people for the Norman William the Bastard, who would become William the Conqueror.

This is a gripping tale of divided loyalties, treason and military might by master storyteller Don Hollway, author of the critically acclaimed The Last Viking.©2023 Don Hollway (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Europa Gran Bretaña Medioevo Militar Realeza Edad media Destino Inglaterra Matrimonio Escandinavia Guerra Vikingos

A well written book that gives and fair and balanced look at the history of the end of Anglo-Saxon England. Did make me cry over a king dead 1000 years.

Fantastic story telling of a complex period that involved many, and yet thr author brings it all together in a way that satisfies all interests.

The narrator is adequate, it's just that his tone and accent sometimes makes it difficult to hear.

Wonderfully told

Nasterful storytelling interspersed with detailed historical accounts that gives its readers rare insights into many facts that are too often glossed over in historical recountings of what led up to 1066.

Outstanding
