Somerlaed mac Gillebride, was a warlord of the west Coast and Inner Hebrides during the mid-1100's. Just giving that definition gives room and intrigue enough for several stories. His relationship with either the Scots' kingdom, or the Norse Earldom of Orkney or the kingdom of the Isle of Man is complex. Tranter also throws in the rise of Henry II of England, disorganized but vengeful small time Norse raiders, and the usual accidents of life in the twelfth century including the final struggle between the Papacy and the dying Celtic church, and a good time is had by all.

By the power of his sword arm, his dragon fleet and his sheer personality, Somerled Norse Slayer carved an enduring name for himself in Scottish legend. Inheriting his father's shattered thanedom in Argyll in the twelfth century, he enlarged it by courage, initiative, military shrewdness and diplomacy. For decades his navy held the balance of power in the northern seas, and it was he who cleared the Vikings out of the Hebrides. Set against the romantically celebrated West Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland, the story of the conquests and courage of this hero king is a living tribute to a renowned legend. 'Through his imaginative dialogue, he provides a voice for Scotland's heroes' Scotland on Sunday Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
