Wulf the Saxon - Hardcover

by G. a. Henty (Author)

A sweeping historical adventure set against the Norman Conquest, following one Saxon noble's struggle for loyalty, land, and honor.

In Wulf the Saxon, G. A. Henty transports readers to eleventh-century England at the moment of its greatest upheaval. Wulf, a young Saxon thane favored by King Harold, finds himself drawn into the turbulent politics preceding the Battle of Hastings. As William of Normandy prepares his invasion, Wulf must navigate shifting alliances, personal rivalries, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare.

Combining meticulous historical detail with vigorous storytelling, Henty portrays the fall of Anglo-Saxon England through the eyes of a principled and courageous protagonist. Battles, sieges, and courtly tensions unfold alongside themes of fealty, resilience, and cultural transformation. A classic of nineteenth-century historical fiction, Wulf the Saxon remains a vivid dramatization of one of England's defining moments.
