Summary "Harold: the Last of the Saxon Kings — Volume 07" by Lytton is a historical novel likely written during the Victorian era. The narrative focuses on the tumultuous period of the Saxon kings in England, particularly centered around the character of Earl Harold, who faces both personal and national turmoil as rival factions and invaders threaten his land. The story paints a vivid picture of historical events, rich in detail regarding the cultural and military struggles of the time. The book follows Harold as he grapples with the loss of his beloved brother Sweyn and the impending conflict with the Welsh King Gryffyth. Tension rises as the Saxons fortify their positions against Welsh assaults, and amidst battles and betrayals, Harold struggles to maintain order and integrity in a time of chaos. As a diplomatic envoy, the Norman knight Mallet de Graville attempts to navigate the intrigues between Saxons and Welsh, bringing hope as well as additional layers of conflict. The climax of the story arrives when Gryffyth defiantly refuses to submit to Harold's offer of peace, leading to a brutal finale where divisions among the Welsh chiefs surface, culminating in the tragic end of Gryffyth. This tale not only delves into themes of loyalty, honor, and sacrifice but also highlights the complexities of leadership in a fractured world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
