| 520 | _a"Harold: the Last of the Saxon Kings — Volume 01" by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative is set around the significant events of the Norman Conquest of England, particularly focusing on Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king, alongside Hilda, a heathen prophetess, and her granddaughter, Edith. The storyline explores themes like loyalty, power struggles, and the collision of cultures through its rich historical context. At the start of the novel, merry festivities mark the arrival of May, highlighting the joy and vibrancy of Saxon life through celebrations and customs. The scene shifts to Hilda's home, where she, described as a powerful figure with a mysterious aura, grapples with her feelings towards the Earl and the changing political landscape. As Hilda anticipates conflict and fate’s intertwining with her granddaughter Edith's life, Norman Duke William and King Edward arrive, unveiling tensions between their foreign reign and the loyal Saxons. Through rich descriptions and character interactions, the opening establishes an atmosphere of cultural conflict and foreshadows the pending struggles of the Saxon people as they face impending Norman conquest.
