When AElfgar of Mercia falls foul of the king and is exiled, his
daughter Eadgyth's life is changed forever. Sold into a disastrous
marriage with Gruffydd ap Llewellyn, King of the Welsh, a man old enough
to be her grandfather, Eadgyth ultimately finds herself accused of
fornication, incest and treason. Alone in a foreign land, her life is
forfeit until a surprise night attack destroys Gruffydd's palace, and
Eadgyth is taken prisoner by Earl Harold of Wessex.
At the Saxon
court she infiltrates the sticky intrigues of the Godwin family, and on
the eve of his accession to the English throne, she agrees to marry
Harold Godwinson. As William the Bastard assembles his fleet in the
south, and Harald Hardrada prepares to invade from the North, their
future is threatened, and the portentous date of October 14th 1066
looms.
Eadgyth's tale of betrayal, passion and war highlights the
plight of women, tossed in the tumultuous sea of feuding Anglo Saxon
Britain
