This is it. It all comes down to this moment.
Ever since Alfred the Great had come surging out of the swamps he had been hiding in to defeat the Vikings at Edington, he and his children and grandchildren had been inexorably pushing the Vikings out of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
Aethelred was soon to conquer Northumbria which had been held by the Danes for a hundred years, and England was born.
But no sooner had the new nation come screaming into the world than a massive Norse-Irish-Scottish alliance came screaming into Aethelred's new kingdom. It threatened to undo everything that had been achieved.
At Brunanburh in 937 AD the future of England would be decided.
