Book Description
When Vikings raided the abbey of Lindisfarne in 793 they found the island of Britain awash in bloodshed and political upheaval. Numerous Anglo-Saxon kingdoms vied for supremacy while fighting off encroachment from ancient Celtic kindoms and the northern kingdoms of Scots and Jutes. Over the next several generations, invasions of Danish Vikings to the east and Norwegian Vikings to the west added to the melee. Out of these struggles would emerge the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England. That event would also directly shape the destiny of one pivotal family for untold generations, directly impacting the creation and direction of Anglo-Saxon England. It would start with a young orphan named Stor―descended from proud Viking sword warriors. Inspired by actual historical events, and a real family, this is his story.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
This is now the second volume of my book ,,Legends and Stories around the Japanese Sword". Once more I try to bring the reader closer to the Japanese sword and dig deeper into the matter by the means of legends, stories and anecdotes about famous swords and their swordsmiths. Like in the first volume, I introduce several famous meito or meibutsu, for example the Kogarasu-maru, Yoshimoto-Samonji, Takemata-Kanemitsu, Kuronbogiri-Kagehide, Tsurumaru-Kuninaga and many more. And the stories deal among other things with the greatest swordsmiths in Japanese history like Masamune, Muramasa, Samonji, Kiyomaro and Kotetsu, to name only a few.
