The story of Aelfred the Great, his war against the Vikings and the
foundations of modern Britain. In AD 865, a 'great host' of
battle-hardened Norse warriors landed on England's eastern coast,
overwhelmed East Anglia with terrifying swiftness and laid the
North to waste. Ghosting along estuaries and inshore waters, in 871
they penetrated deep into the southern kingdom of Wessex, ruled
over by a new and untested king, Ælfred son of Æðelwulf. It
seemed as though the End of Days was come. Max Adams tells the
story of the heroic efforts of Ælfred, his successors and
fellow-kings of Britain, to adapt and survive in the face of an
apocalyptic threat; and in so doing, to lay the foundations of the
nations of modern Britain in all their regional diversity.
