The year of three battles in England; Fulford, Stamford and Hastings find the Norse and the Normans fighting the Saxons for the right to the throne. Kings, Norse Jarls and English Earls will die, along with thousands of men as a real life "Game of Thrones" plays out in early autumn of that year.As great men plan and wage war in the pursuit of power, the ordinary men like Bjarke, Hakon and Fenrir their huge Elkhound, will step into fleeting fame and history as the year of Saxon England's conquest unfolds.
