Frank Barlow has an epic tale to tell' History Today The family of Earl Godwin of Wessex stands among the most famous in English history, whose most famous son was King Harold. Frank Barlow charts the family through to Harold - the last Anglo-Saxon king - and finally the crowning of William the Conqueror during the Norman Conquest. Set against the backdrop of Viking raids and ultimately the Norman Conquest of 1066, Frank Barlow unravels the gripping history of a feuding family that nevertheless determined the course and fortunes of all the English. 606 $aNobility$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yAnglo-Saxon period, 449-1066 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yNorman period, 1066-1154 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNobility 676 $a942.0190922 700 $aBarlow$b Frank.$0138694 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452607603321 996 $aThe Godwins$92131690 997 $aUNINA
