Haraldr Sigurðarson and Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. Harald Hardradr I have dealt with already. Norwegian. Varangian. Closely connected to the […]

I adore this book. As you can see above…my copy is almost stuck together with sticky notes. These are all MY rewrites of the history from a different point of view. Just because I disagree with his conclusions, does NOT mean that I reject his book. FACT! I’m having an AbFab Day :o)
