Saxon Wars: Battle Tales

By: Shukla, Nipun

You have heard tales of the Saxons who migrated over the seas to England. But few are the tales of those who stayed back in Old Saxony (Northern Germany). In the late 8th. century, they struggled through the Saxon Wars of Frankish King Charlemagne. All we know of these Saxons is from the partial accounts of Christian monks. Here is a long overdue retelling of the Saxon Wars as seen through the eyes of a pagan - a Dark Ages tale, of magic, compassion, heroic courage, and the generalship of kings.

Ekbert of Eresburg, a resourceful but impetuous Saxon nobleman must fight for his lands, secure his family, save his country's threatened religious heritage, and become a hero in the process. But he cannot do this while his loyalties are torn between the ambitious Saxon Duke Widukind, and the zealot Frankish King Charlemagne, who are locked in eternal battle. Courage and sacrifice define the indomitable Saxon spirit, but treacherous times entail first being loyal to oneself.
