| 520 | _a"King Penda's Captain: A Romance of Fighting in the Days of the Anglo-Saxons" by Mackenzie MacBride is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Feargus, the son of a Pictish king, who becomes a devoted warrior under King Penda of Mercia during the tumultuous days of the Anglo-Saxon period. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, love, and the conflict between paganism and Christianity as Feargus navigates his allegiance to both his king and his affection for Torfrida, the daughter of King Sigmund. The opening of the novel introduces us to King Penda, a formidable warrior and ruler of the Mercians, who is incensed by the spread of Christianity among the neighboring kingdoms. As he builds an army, he encounters Nechtan, a Pictish king, and his brave son Feargus, whom Penda invites to stay and serve as his warrior. The reader learns of the battles and political struggles that ensue as Penda seeks dominance over his enemies, while Feargus, grappling with his faith and love for Torfrida, finds himself torn between loyalty to King Penda and his affection for the Christian maiden. This rich historical backdrop sets the stage for a tale of valor, conflict, and personal sacrifice as Feargus contemplates his role in a world on the brink of change.
