| 520 | _a"The Ward of King Canute: A Romance of the Danish Conquest" by Liljencrantz is a historical novel written in the early 20th century that delves into the era of the Danish conquest of England. The narrative centers around themes of honor, revenge, and the struggles between Danes and Anglo-Saxons, primarily focusing on Randalin, the daughter of the slain Danish lord Frode, as she navigates the chaos and violence caused by the invasions. At the start of the story, we encounter the remnants of a desecrated monastery and two nuns, Sister Wynfreda and Sister Sexberga, discussing the desolate state of their surroundings due to recent Viking raids. As they ponder the fate of Randalin and her family, a wounded man arrives bearing grim news about the capture of Randalin by the English. Randalin’s fierce spirit shines through as she vows to seek revenge for her father's death and contemplates her journey to join King Canute, whom she believes can help her reclaim her lost honor. The opening chapters establish a rich atmosphere of impending conflict and a strong sense of personal stakes that draw the reader into Randalin's plight.
