This a story showing one of the many events that took place during the long and arduous task of forging the Kingdom of England, which was by no means an obvious conclusion at times. Athelstan, with a little help from a large army and a saint not short on miracles, uses his political skill to bring the land north of the Humber under West Saxon rule.

Join me for historical tales from the iron age through to the emergence of gunpowder (I lose interest then). 

I research my stories based around a peculiar event or a character that amuses me. What develops from there can often lead to some surprising tales and some interesting perspectives to well known events. 

I have plenty of projects half written, jotted down on the back of a beer mat or stored in the depths of my memory somewhere so keep checking back for more content.
