Chronicles of the English
3 primary works
Book 1
Book 2
Edmund of the English, the aged Constantin of Scotland, Anlaf Sihtriccson of York, Idwal of Gwynedd, Hywel of the South Welsh.
The year is 942 and the treaty of Eamont in 927 and the recent battle of Brunanburh in 937 have inflicted an uneasy calm on the lands of the British Isles. The fledgling England, Scotland, Strathclyde, the warring Welsh kingdoms and the Viking stronghold of Dublin are held firmly apart.
Or are they?
Hinged on the power and resourcefulness of one man, Athelstan, first King of the English, his untimely death in late 939 has thrust his young half-brother onto the throne and the acquisitive eyes of Olaf Gothfrithson of Dublin, his close ally Anlaf Sihtricsson, Constantin of Scotland and Idwal of Gwynedd have turned once more to England's land and her people. Can Edmund hold England firm against the over-mighty men? Or will the greatest English victory at Brunanburh amount to nothing and fade into obscurity, to be forgotten by all?

Book 3
Edmund of the English, Anlaf Sihtriccson of York, Ragnall Gothfrithsson of York, the aged Constantin of Scotland, now in retirement, with his successor Mael Coluim finally in control, Athelstan Half King of the English, Hywel of the Ancient Britons (Welsh).
The year is 945 and Edmund of the English, finally coming into his own as the second English king now has the power and the ability to push back England's borders even further; his eye firmly set on not just retaking the Viking kingdom of Jorvik but on the lands of Strathclyde and even the land of the Scots, floundering under its new ruler, all united in their desire to bring Edmund low; to stop the seemingly unstoppable rise of the new English kingdom.
