For centuries, a fire swept through Europe. It raged on and on, putting nations and kingdoms at its mercy, and that fire came from the North. Due to a series of socio-political triggers, the Vikings emerged from their northern homes in Scandinavia and swept all across the realms of Europe - south, east, west, and north. Mastering the navigation of the oceans and dominating the riverways, these vicious Northmen embarked upon their swift longships and introduced an entirely new chapter of Europe's history. Merciless in war and cunning in trade, they found their place in faraway nations. From Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, and Greenland, down to the Iberian Peninsula and into France, North Africa, and the distant lands in the east, the Northmen left their mark.
Few are those that have not heard of the fearsome Vikings and their daring exploits. These Northern seafarers, the scourge of the Middle Ages, left their mark on the world’s history in a grand fashion. Courageous, defiant, and driven by the desire for exploration, the Norsemen were the most feared of all Medieval conquerors. Many thought them invincible, and they held many struggling Christian nations in their sway. From Scotland, England, France, and Ireland, down to the shores of Spain and the Baltic, the Vikings left their undeniable mark. Brutal conquest was not the only tool of their trade: these men were able seafarers and great explorers. Vikings discovered and established colonies in the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and North America. Many agree that they were the first to set foot in the land we know today as Canada. All in all, the Vikings hold a vital role in the history of the world. Who knows how our world would look today if it weren’t for these grand Norsemen?
Much can be said for a nation as proud and ancient as Wales. It is a nation that reaches far back into the shadows of history, from where it struggled to retain its freedom and proud culture. Of Celtic and Brittonic origins, the Welsh people were always fighting fiercely to protect their land's boundaries and preserve their heritage, language, and customs. It is from that fight that a proud sovereign nation emerged, now a respected part of the United Kingdom. Through centuries and ups and downs, this nation left behind a fantastic historic record giving us a lot to explore and write about. In the pages of this book, we will retrace the steps of the Welsh, from the dark ages of Stone and Bronze, through the tumultuous times of the Romans and Anglo-Saxons, on through the fierce Middle Ages, and ultimately the flight into the near-modern times. Perhaps rightly called the “last of the Britons,” the modern Welsh people are proud of their ancient Celtic origins, which they preserved even in the face of conquests and attacks from invaders. We will explore this ancient heritage and closely examine the sources of the modern-day Welsh people, their unique language, and their connections with other modern Celtic nations.
The history of the Scottish nation is full to the brim with glorious heroes and epic struggles. Throughout the centuries of its fight for independence, Scotland gave birth to some truly exceptional men and women, who went above and beyond the call of duty for the freedom of their home country. This fight for independence has ever since inspired every Scottish person - and even bolstered people all across the world. In modern times, the heroic exploits of these fierce men and women have been the subject of numerous movies and TV shows. Arguably the most famous one of these is “Braveheart”, the Hollywood portrayal of one of the greatest heroes of Scotland - William Wallace. Who was this great Scottish freedom fighter? Who was this man who willingly laid down his life for the independence of the nation into which he was born? In this book we will try to unravel the life and times of William Wallace, piecing together his puzzled and short life of struggle and war.
The very core of Irish spirit and the character of this nation are based on the many wonderful myths, legends, and folk tales that are carried on through the centuries. Generation after generation, age after age, all those classic Irish myths are still alive - against all odds. From the murky pre-Christian times, through the early Middle Ages, and all the way until today: these folk tales and myths have always slipped through. Even through many wars, migrations, and disasters, the Irish folk have stubbornly clung to their oldest traditions and beliefs. In those dire times of need and hardship, all men and women will look to their traditional heroes for inspiration. One such folk hero is certainly Finn McCool - the brave and powerful leader of the Fíana , the roving bands of hunter-warriors. A poet, a seer, a skilled warrior and a charming man, Finn McCool is subject to many adventures and heroic deeds. It is his adventures and achievements that instilled inspiration in the souls of many Irish men and Irish women. In these tales, he leads his brave band of young roving hunter-warriors and is renowned as a poet and a seer. At his side are Bran and Sceólang, two powerful hounds. Finn also possesses great wisdom. It was said that he had a thumb that granted him great knowledge. So, what’s not to like about him? We can quickly understand how he could have easily inspired generations of Irish folk.
The Gaelic myths and legends that are prevalent in the British Isles are the very fabric of the Irish, Scottish, Manx, and Cornish people today. They are colorful, steeped in heroic deeds and adventurous demigods, rooted in times long gone, when Europe as we know it was an altogether different land. More precisely, the Irish Mythology and its unique Ulster Cycle are an endless source of inspiration, and are a crystal clear glimpse into the heart and soul of the Irish People. One of the more enigmatic figures from this cycle is Scáthach, a legendary Scottish warrior woman, responsible for many things - but chiefly for teaching warrior skills to the young hero Cú Chulainn. “A Scottish woman in Irish myths?” you might be wondering right now. But you read that well: Scáthach is the clear connection between two nations of the same origins - Ireland and Scotland. This mythical figure is the connection between brotherly folk, a root that entwines their shared Gaelic culture. But even better, the topic of Scáthach is a great starting point for scholars and historians - from here we can conduct extensive research that would uncover deeper layers of the enigmatic Ulster Cycle and the ancient connection between Ireland and Scotland. From there, we can glimpse into the turbulent fate of the Picts, the unique subject of the Gaels, the Scoti, and the Kingdom of Dál Riata. And last but not least - we can find parallels between the legend of Scáthach and the older, Indo-European myths and beliefs that clearly tell us of the ancient origins of the Gaelic folk.
Book 2 holds two tales of powerful Vampires...both friends.
William, once King William The Conquerer, The Bastard King.
But don't say that to his face.
Still not cool with it.
In an I-will-kill-you kind of way.
Joshua, a composer turned immortal, talent worthy of The Gift.
His sense of justice is strong enough to toy with evil and make it his bitch.
But when you love danger, there is a price only loyal friends will pay.
Note: This series has cliffhangers with the third book yet to come.
A great nation needs a great leader. Just like a ship needs a capable captain, so does a proud and sovereign nation need a competent king to lead it through the tumultuous waves of history. Alas, history taught us that capable leaders are not always readily available. Scotland’s history led its people through many a dark passage: even from its earliest prehistory, this proud nation suffered at the hands of conquerors and invaders. From the Vikings, to the Normans, and the English - everyone wanted to reign over proud and wild Alba. In the late 1200s and early 1300s, however, the people of Scotland finally stood up and sought the light of freedom: they led a series of wars that would gain them their independence. Many leaders and commanders appeared during this time, all of them leaving their trace on history. However, only one emerged as “King of the Scots”, and led the nation to its coveted independence. That man is the famed Robert the Bruce, a national hero of Scotland and one of its most renowned warriors.
