them. And make them die slowly. You must take out their eyes, or
chop off their limbs.”

    AUTHOR’S NOTE

    The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, as compiled by
various monks until the year 1140, were my primary sources of
information. So, too, were the Chronicles of Florence of Worcester
and the Chronicles of the Kings of England as written by William of
Malmesbury. Without the devotion of these men to chronicle the
chaotic events of their time, so little of the Dark Ages would be
known. For a full list of sources, or to tell me what you think of
my work, visit my blog at http://talesofmercia.wordpress.com .
