The Story of the Vikings

by Henry Treece Book 1 in the The Viking Series series.

First published 1964

2.5(5)

Harald Hardrada has fought from Norway to Byzantium and returned to claim a crown. In 1066, the exiled English earl Tostig Godwinson offers him a new prize: the throne held by Tostig’s brother Harold. A Norwegian fleet sails to northern England, where victory at Fulford appears to confirm Harald’s belief that boldness can still decide kingdoms.

The campaign ends at Stamford Bridge when Harold Godwinson’s army arrives after a rapid march. Treece turns the last great Viking invasion of England into a novel of ambition, alliance and battlefield reversal on the eve of the Norman Conquest.
