About this audiobook
Vikings and the Making of England explores one of the most dramatic periods in British history, when Viking warriors, settlers, kings, and conquerors transformed the destiny of England forever. Beginning with the devastating raids that shocked Anglo-Saxon society and continuing through the rise of the Danelaw, the heroic resistance of Alfred the Great, and the emergence of a united English kingdom under Athelstan, this book reveals how conflict, adaptation, and cultural exchange reshaped an entire nation.
Readers will follow the rise of the Great Heathen Army, the creation of Viking settlements across England, and the gradual fusion of Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon cultures. The story then moves into the age of renewed Viking invasions, the powerful North Sea Empire of Cnut the Great, and the turbulent reign of Edward the Confessor, whose unresolved succession crisis opened the door to one of the most important turning points in medieval history.
