The Prince of Cornwall (Annotated‪)‬

The Prince of Cornwall

England, ca. 690 A.D.: This is the story of an unusual friendship between a South Saxon from the lineage of Ella and a West Welshman – a man from Cornwall, that is, from the lineage of Arthur – in the days when the hatred between these peoples, not yet forgotten, was at its greatest. It also conveys very well the uncertainty and conflicts of life on the border, the struggle between Welsh, Saxons and Danes in a relatively obscure time of Britain’s past.
Experience the adventures of two warriors in a time when England was the scene of fierce battles between Saxons, Danes and Norwegian Vikings.

This is the second book in the eight-volume series "IN DARK AGES" by Charles W. Whistler. It contains detailed notes on the text and general explanations of the Viking Age in an additional essay. It is also decorated with some atmospheric illustrations and features a map of England in Viking times.
