I was snagged by 17th Century historian and author Eleanor Swifthook for a chat about my new book on Harold Godwinson. We talked how Anglo-Saxon and early modern notions of kingship differed and how they faced similar challenges!
11th Century meets the 17th

2)Harold Godwinson's role in English history was overshadowed by his failure to defend his country against the might of William the Conqueror. In just ten months, Harold's accomplishments were undermined by the Norman propaganda that was waged against his memory, long after his grisly end in 1066.

So I thought I better introduce myself properly, apart from my Harold Godwinson book, I also write historical fiction.
My 11thc series Sons of the Wolf follows the fortunes of Sussex thegn, Wulfhere, and his often dysfunctional children. Books 1&2 can be found on Amazon, and 3 is a WIP.

I love these cinnamon whirls, one of the few vegan pastries a vegan can eat. Easy to make! They come in a box and you just roll it out! Nom!
I know this because I buy them and my daughter makes them for me!

Preorder my book about King Harold Godwinson on Amazon
Ever wondered who was this man?
Was Harold a usurper or a lawful king, fighting for his country, his people, his crown and his life?
You decide when you read the evidence.

Well this just happened to fall into my inbox this morning. And considering it’s my birthday coming, It would be rude not to get myself a copy wouldn’t it?

I have been known to mash an enemy or two! Live by the spear, die by the spear and I often do!

My historical bio on Harold Godwinson is due for publication end of January - on preorder, doing well in the charts and currently on discount! Don't miss out!
Ever wondered who this underestimated king really was, this might just be for you!
Was he really a usurper or rightful King of England?

As a reenactor I have been known to portray a certain countess of the 11th century and here I am at Battle Abbey with the love of my life, Earl Godwin. Can you guess I am?
