Ragnvald Hrolfsson
With the Frankish kingdom divided by civil war and political uncertainty spreading across western Europe, Hrolf the Horseman sees an opportunity to strengthen the lands his people have begun to carve out in Frankia. Raids along the Seine promise wealth and security, but alliances made for convenience prove unreliable once the balance of power begins to shift.
Hrolf’s son Ragnvald is given his first real experience of command and must learn how quickly success can turn into exposure. Father and son fight for territory that may become an inheritance rather than merely a raiding ground. Their campaigns form part of the longer transformation of Norse settlements in northern Francia into the political world that will eventually become Normandy.
