It is during this turbulent time that England was transformed from an idea into a kingdom.   This is the story of the unification of a nation that includes a shadowy patriarch, a warrior princess and a dissolute reprobate. It is the story of a deeply principled archbishop and a corrupt archbishop, of heroic deeds and squalid misdeeds.   Above all, it is the story of an ongoing contest for power: between rival candidates for the throne, between Crown and Church, between north and south, and between the English and the Norse. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368751411573,"sku":"9781398120440","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781398120440.jpg?v=1763550716","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781398120440","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
