"Wulf the Saxon: A Story of the Norman Conquest" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the pivotal period leading up to the Norman Conquest of England, the book follows the character of Wulf, a young Saxon page serving under the powerful Earl Harold, as he navigates the tensions between the Saxons and the emerging Norman influence in England. The narrative is steeped
in themes of patriotism, cultural conflict, and the forging of identity during a time of great change. At the start of the book, Wulf's life is introduced amidst the backdrop of King Edward's court and the construction of Westminster Abbey. An altercation between Wulf, a Saxon page, and Walter Fitz-Urse, a Norman page, sparks a series of events that lead to Wulf being sent back to his estate in Steyning for some time. This is positioned as both a punishment and an opportunity for personal growth, as Wulf is tasked with learning the responsibilities of a thane and preparing himself as a leader amongst his people. During his time away from court, Wulf engages in the affairs of his estate, training in arms, and fostering relationships with his tenants while reflecting on the social and political upheavals that define his world.
