The year is 878. Young King Alfred struggles to regain his West Saxon kingdom from the invading pagan Danes led by Gormr (aka Guthrum, aka Godrum). His kingdom overrun, Alfred joins Gormr's court disguised as a Welsh gleeman. Gormr consults Alfred as a counselor and wizard, but resists Alfred's attempts to convert him. Meanwhile, Alfred learns that his lady and their children are Gormr's prisoners.
Escaping to the western fens, he leads a small army against the Danes. The rest is history.
This is an epic poem set in the Old English culture of Christian warriors, i.e., Romanized Germanic former pagans, contending with contemporary Scandinavian Germanic pagans.
The great epic poet Frederick Turner (author of The New World, Genesis, and Apocalypse) called Eþandun "The real Game of Thrones." Listen to actor-poet-producer Kyle Derek's heroic rendition of this book-length poem!
