According to English law, only the Witan had the legal right to name the next King of England. The problem, however, is that William of Normandy contests this Appointment.  The hero, Wulf of Steyning, is a young Saxon thane in the service of Earl Harold. As part of Earl Harold's retinue, Wulf assists in the Welsh wars, takes part against the Norsemen at the battle of Stamford Bridge and is with King Harold and the English host at Hastings when William invades England.  Learn about the Chart of King Edward, Harold and William the Conqueror along with the life and culture of the Middle Ages within the pages of the classic Wulf the Saxon. Discover why G.A. Henty is referred to as the "Prince of Storytellers" and the "Boys' Own Historian".
