VIKING - King's Man
by Tim Severin
The 3rd and last installment......
Thorgils is now in Constantinople and a member of the Varangian lifeguard and witnesses the glories of the richest city on earth but also the murderous ways of th imperial family.
Eventually Thorgils returns to Norway after the assassination of the emperor of Constantinople. Here he is by the side of Harald who takes the throne of Norway. As a follower of the Odin and the old ways, can Thorgils convince Harald to ignore the growing religion of the white christ?
This 3rd book is great and climaxes with an epic battle in England between the vikings and the britons. Thorgils finds that he can't stop the onslaught of this new religion, but in his ageing years he continues to spread the teachings of Odin and the old ways until he disappears.
People talk of the old hermit that they no longer see anymore. A teacher of the old ways, very kind and greatly reveared by the villagers...........
