Egbert Bretwalda (Nordic Heroes, #8)

by Christopher Webster

Overview

Egbert was king of Wessex from c. 770 to 839. His achievement is that he brought about the unification of England under the house of Wessex, and paved the way for the successes of Alfred the Great (his grandson). Historical information is thin on the ground, so I have elaborated many scenes from my own imagination, hoping to bring to life this underappreciated Anglo-Saxon monarch.

About the Author

Christopher Webster was brought up in Conisbrough, Yorkshire, which is well-known for its magnificent castle. The castle and its link with England's founding father, Hengest, inspired his interest in the Anglo-Saxon period. His first publication was Poetry Through Humour and Horror. This was followed by many more publications, including a wide range of fiction, drama and poetry culminating in his "masterpiece" pentalogy, English Dawn. He is currently a retired and living his dream to be a full-time writer (though when the words won't flow, it is sometimes a nightmare!)
