Danes, Saxons, and Normans: Or, Stories of Our Ancestors (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Danes, Saxons, and Normans: Or, Stories of Our AncestorsIN the following pages I have endeavoured to tell in a popular way the story of the Norman Conquest, and to give an idea of the principal personages who figured in England at the period when that memorable event took place; and I have endeavoured, I hope not without some degree of success, to treat the subject in a popular and picturesque style, without any sacrifice of historic truth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
