A fascinating history of the Beowulf period. <\/strong>A fascinating book well researched with great respect for accuracy for this period. I recommend reading all three books of this series<\/strong> <\/em>for their beautiful depiction of life of the women in this era. Learn about customs, clothing, housing, medical use of herbs we are familiar with today, and about their family trials and tribulations.

She leaves having blood on her hands, for she has killed a man. Her journey takes her first to Norway, land of the Brondings, where a strange young girl unexpectedly enters her life.<\/p>\n She next returns to Denmark, to the court of her old nemesis, Hrothulf, now the respected King Hrolf Kraki. There she seeks clues to her mother\u2019s whereabouts, clues from the mounds of the dead and from her old rune-master, Unferth. Hrolf\u2019s court is itself in peril from the king\u2019s half-sister, the witch-queen Skuld. When Freawaru attempts to assist Hrolf, sobering consequences result.<\/p>\n Gathering her people and her courage, Freawaru sails for Angle-land, where she confronts the threat of a new religion. Her gifts as a seeress and healer are repeatedly tested as she struggles to create a home for herself and her followers in East Anglia. Her acts and decisions there, as she strives to stay true to the goddess, will affect the ruling house and the fate of its king, the redoubtable R\u00e6dwald.<\/p>\n Amazon eBook<\/a> \u00a0Amazon Print Book<\/a> \u00a0AZ Center for Medieval Studies<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Book-3.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” sticky=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.51″ use_overlay=”off” align=”left” always_center_on_mobile=”on” border_style=”solid” force_fullwidth=”off” url=”http:\/\/amzn.to\/2vfSXad” \/][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”3.0.51″ src=”https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/The-Women-of-Beowulf.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” always_center_on_mobile=”on” border_style=”solid” force_fullwidth=”off” url=”http:\/\/amzn.to\/2wv9psc” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_testimonial admin_label=”Testimonial” author=”Galvgal” url_new_window=”off” quote_icon=”on” use_background_color=”on” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” job_title=”Amazon Reviewer” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.51″ quote_icon_background_color=”#f5f5f5″ border_style=”solid”] A fascinating history of the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-153","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":183,"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/153\/revisions\/183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/donnitalrogers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How will she live up to the demands placed upon her?<\/em><\/h4>\n
