Synopsis
Excerpt from Alfgar the Dane, or the Second Chronicle of AEscendune: A Tale of the Days of Edmund Fronside The tale now presented to the indulgence of the public is the second of a series of tales, each complete in itself, which, as stated in the preface to the first of the series, have been told to the senior boys of a large school, in order to secure their interest in historical characters, and to illustrate great epochs in human affairs by the aid of fiction. Yet the Author has distinctly felt that fiction must always, in such cases, be subordinate to truth, and that it is only legitimately used as a vehicle of instruction when it fills up the gaps in the outline, without contradicting them in any respect, or interfering with their due order and sequence. Therefore he has attempted in every instance to consult such original authorities as lay within his reach, and has done his best to present an honest picture of the times. The period selected on the present occasion is full of the deepest interest. The English and the Danish invaders of their soil were struggling desperately for the possession of England - a struggle aggravated by religious bitterness, and by the sanguinary nature of the Danish creed.
