Knut Strandhogg Book PDF Summary
Cover Flap English children learn that Knut the Great was a pre-Norman king born of Royal Danish blood and was so conceited as to think that he could command the ocean tides. The rest of Europe learn that he was the Emperor of the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Irish Sea and the Channel. Directly or indirectly he ruled most of the peoples living around those seas and thus the trade between them flourished. Knut inherited the empire that his father, King Sweyn Forkbeard of the Danes had glued together. The glue he had used was the promise of wealth and technology through trade, and mercenary work in the Byzantine Empire. But the glue was being weakened by random strandhogg raids on his people. About the Author Skye Smith is my pen name. My interest in Knut stems from the endless research I did while writing “The Hoodsman” series of historical novels about the Norman invasion of England. That invasion by William the Conqueror was not a quick subjugation of an Anglo-Saxon England, but a long and bitter genocide of an Anglo-Danish England and the destruction of Knut’s great legacy. The first novel “Knut - Jomsviking” sets the characters and scene for the entire series, so if you haven’t yet read it, now would be a good time. This is the third novel in the series where Knut’s story continues with the further adventures of his father, King Sweyn Forkbeard of the Danes as he becomes more and more involved with the politics of England. The chapter headings identify the dates and places. The Appendix gives historical insight and a list of characters. Enjoy.
