Alfred of Wessex is the story of the youngest brother of the Kings of Wessex, who only centuries later would be known as ‘Alfred the Great’. The first part of the trilogy of historical novels is ‘Alfred of Wessex. Book One: Inheritance‘.

Alfred of Wessex is based around real historical events during the defence of Anglo-Saxon Wessex against the Danes, as raids turned into full-scale invasion in the 9th century viking wars.

In Inheritance, the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and East Anglia face a gathering storm of Danes threatening destruction and occupation.

Amongst all this, the Kingdom of Wessex is split by rivalries. Who should be heir to Alfred’s brother’s Kingdom? The King’s Council of Ealdormen is divided. Powerful voices back King Ethelred’s boys as future Kings, while Alfred, with little experience of war or politics, must decide if he truly wants the Kingship and to become the leader in a series of battles that will decide the future of Wessex.
