The Birth of England (#1-2) by H A Culley
Requirements: ePUB reader 1.2mb
Overview: H A Culley served as an Army officer for twenty-four years.
After leaving the Army he spent twenty-one years in the education sector. He has served on the board of two commercial companies and has been a trustee of several national and local charities. His last job before retiring was as the finance director and company secretary of the Institute of Development Professionals in Education. Since retirement, he has been involved in several historical projects and gives talks on historical subjects. He started writing historical fiction in 2013.
For many years he and his wife lived between Holy Island and Berwick upon Tweed in northern Northumberland, the setting for many of his historical novels, but moved to Oxfordshire in 2020 to be nearer his children and grandchildren.
Genre: Historical Fiction
01 Ælfred's Daughter
When the existence of Mercia is threatened a heroine emerges to fight for her people. That person is Æthelflӕd, daughter of Ælfred the Great. However, even the greatest heroes and heroines have to face their own demons and cope with opposition from within, failure and tragedy.
In this action-packed tale what is left of Mercia moves from the brink of extinction to a position of growing strength. However, when the Northumbrian Vikings invade all seems lost. Assisted by her nephew, Æthelstan, and a youth who grew up a feral child in the forest, Æthelflӕd faces a battle against an army of pagan Vikings to determine whether Anglo-Saxon England will survive.
02 Conquest Of The Danelaw
Æthelflӕd, daughter of King Ælfred the Great, is elected Lady of the Mercians after her husband dies. Together with her brother, King Eadweard of Wessex, she embarks on a campaign to re-conquer Eastern Mercia (known as the Danelaw) from the occupying Danes. However, she must first deal with the threats from the ambitious Viking King in the North as well as the Welsh across the River Severn.
She is aided by her nephew and a thegn called Wynnstan. The latter has his own problems to deal with. He is devastated when a close friend betrays him and rapes his wife. She refuses to give up the resulting baby and, possessed by anger and despair, he sets off to join Æthelflӕd as she invades the Danelaw. He’s determined to end the desolation he suffers and die in battle but his friends are equally determined to save him from himself.
In this second instalment of four novels about the creation of England in the tenth Century, H A Culley brings Anglo-Saxon England, the political intrigue, the suffering of ordinary people and the incessant warfare that characterised the period, vividly to life.
