The Armored Heart: Emma of Normandy

By Rhonda Hughes and Rhonda Hughes

Emma of Normandy - the newly widowed Queen of England - must answer the summons of King Cnut, the Danish conqueror. What can Emma do but comply when the Dane threatens to sack London otherwise. Will Emma become a hostage to stave off her brother the Duke of Normandy? Or will the Danish king complete his triumph by reducing her to a concubine? Lives hinge on placating this barbaric invader, but what does Emma owe the island kingdom which never appreciated her?The sons of King Sweyn Forkbeard each inherited a kingdom. Harold easily became king of Denmark. While the younger son, Cnut, had to fight long and hard to regain his father's kingdom in England. With London beseiged and desperate, Cnut's triumph is assured. Now he turns the same persistance to securing a hold on his war-torn kingdom. He must weld the Danes and English into one nation to build a strong, prosperous kingdom. Emma of Normandy holds the key to achieving this transformation and securing his legacy.
