COMING THIS FRIDAY 2nd of October 2026!

God and his Saints sleep…BUT the Silly History Boys are elbow deep in Anarchy!

The Realm shudders in the Wake of the White Ship disaster!

The old King’s health fades…can his daughter the Empress Matilda shatter the patriarchy and become…a girl King?!

Or will her Sneaky Cousin Stephen spring from nowhere and become King by right of sneakiness?

Find out on Friday!

It’s a tale of Berserkers, bridges and brothers in the second instalment of our 1066 Epic!

William of Normandy and all the Knights of France are poised to invade Anglo Saxon England…trouble is they’ve got wind…but it’s the wrong sort of wind!

Which means the Normans can’t invade…so nothing to see here then?

NO! VIKINGS! TEN THOUSAND OF THEM!

On Raven’s Wings the Horde of Harald Hardrada is descending on the North…and you know what?

The North of England likes Vikings.

It doesn’t like Tostig much but he’s come along for the ride!

Sweet Harry G and his Huscarl’s are gonna have to get their skates on or they’ll miss the Battle of Stamford Bridge and all the tanning that goes on before hand!

And hopefully the Normans won’t invade while Harold is at the other end of the country…*
