Book excerpt: From Bern rode forth King Diderik, A stately warrior form; Engaged in fray he found in the way A lion and laidly worm. They fought for a day, they fought for two, But ere the third was flown, The worm outfought the beast, and brought To earth the lion down. Then cried the lion in his need When he the warrior saw: “O aid me quick, King Diderik, To ’scape the Dragon’s claw. “O aid me quick, King Diderik, For the mighty God thou fearest; A lion save for the lion brave, Which on thy shield thou bearest. “Come to my rescue, thou noble King, Help, help me for thy name; Upon thy targe I stand at large, Glittering like a flame.” Long, long stood he, King Diderik, Deep musing thereupon; At length he cried: “Whate’er betide I’ll help thee, noble one.” It was Sir King Diderik, His good sword bare he made: With courage fraught, the worm he fought, Till blood tinged all the blade.

This book was released on 2019-03-17 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1047 A.D. In Normandy, William fights to hold on to his duchy, whilst in England, Harold, the second son of Godwin, the powerful Earl of Wessex, inherits his father. Tensions in England grow as King Edward's marriage to Godwin's daughter, Edith, fails to produce an heir and it is rumoured that King Edward has named Duke William as his heir. William is however fully engaged in Normandy, putting down persistent challenges to his title. Although his heart belongs to Alice of the Bessin, the woman he stole away from his enemy, by marrying Matilda, the unruly daughter of the Count of Flanders, he could become the most powerful magnate in all of France. But will France's weak King allow such a marriage? For William, however, the heaviest burden is the pain of relinquishing the great love of his life. And what is to become of Alice, now her reputation is soiled forever?Harold's final victory over the Welsh makes him all England's hero, but he too has personal problems: Can he ever forgive Edith Swannesha, his wife of 20 years, for betraying him and how will he manage without his Irish friend and bodyguard, Brendan mac Diarmait? By 1064, with King Edward's health failing, a rebellion brewing in the north and, in Norway, the emergence of a third, fearsome contender for England's throne, Harold sets out for Normandy to meet William. Can they join forces to forge the Anglo-Norman empire, of which King Edward has long dreamt? Or will their ambition engulf them in a bloody war? Only one can be King; but first, they must take the measure of each other.The Lion and the Dragon relates the rise of two of the strongest leaders in medieval Christendom.
