Viking Kings Part III James Timothy Palmer

This is an historical novel about the struggle of the Saxons and Danes against the rule of King William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings. The resistance had many leaders including: Edgar (grandson of King Edmund Ironside), King Malcolm of Scotland (Edgar's brother-in-law), King Sweyn II of Denmark, Hereward the Wake, Eadric the Wild and King Harold's teenage children. It is generally assumed that after the battle in October 1066 that William was accepted, this was not the case, as I explain in this work. I have based this novel on historical evidence, and all of the principal characters existed and made their contribution to English history. Some of the situations are of my invention as is all of the dialogue.
