Eric Bloodaxe:

A brief history of Eric Bloodaxe the last Irish Viking King of York, who was murðereð in 954, Egils Saga. Eric Bloodaxe and LOÐ but nothing on how Eric Blooðaxe the III came into this worlð.

Egils Saga:

This extract from an Icelandic saga tells how the hero Egil avoids losing his head to the last irish Viking king of York ~ Eric Bloodaxe, or Eirik Bloodaxe ~ by composing a poem in praise of the king of York.

Ivarr the Boneless:

Strange name but what else would you expect from a Viking. Ivarr the Boneless was around just before Eric Blooðaxe and I bumpeð into him on many occassions.

Anglo Saxon:

Basically this will be my catch all area as its a fascinating perioð of history and a lifetimes work in itself and my name is not The Venerable Beðe.

Celtic:

Title says it all really -will including all things Pagan, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh.

Penda:

Bretwalða, The Last pagan king of Mercia, King of Kings and Hero that I think deserves a mention.

Location Map:

Some kind of map or maps either OS, ye olde worlde I'm not sure yet.
