Summary "Harold: the Last of the Saxon Kings — Volume 06" by Lytton is a historical novel written during the Victorian era. The book revolves around the historical figure of Harold Godwinson, the last King of England before the Norman Conquest, exploring themes of ambition, loyalty, and the sociopolitical landscape of medieval England. It vividly depicts the tensions and conflicts during the reign of King Edward and the implications of Harold’s rise as a contender for the throne amid the return of the Atheling Edward and various other political machinations. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil, with Harold maneuvering through challenges posed by friends and foes alike. After the arrival of the Atheling, Harold's ambitions grow, but he faces opposition from figures like Algar and Gryffyth, who threaten the stability of England. The storyline is rich with character dynamics, particularly focusing on Harold's relationship with Edith, his motivations for power, and the moral dilemmas he must navigate. As battles loom and alliances shift, the novel captures the tension and drama of a pivotal moment in English history, emphasizing Harold's internal struggles and the consequences of ambition in a dangerous and divided land.
