520			_a"Alfgar the Dane or the Second Chronicle of Aescendune" by A. D. Crake is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. Set during the early 11th century, it explores the turbulent times of Danish invasions in England, focusing on themes of identity, faith, and betrayal. The story revolves around Alfgar, the son of a Danish warrior, as he grapples with his heritage while living amongst the English after the tragic events of St. Brice's Day, when many Danes were slaughtered. The opening of the novel is structured around the diary entries of Father Cuthbert, the prior of a monastery, who provides historical context as he recounts the dark clouds of conflict hanging over England due to the Danish incursions and the instability of King Ethelred's reign. Through Cuthbert’s observations, we meet Alfgar and learn of his inner turmoil regarding his Danish lineage and the tragic fate of his mother. The former conflicts of loyalty are exacerbated by the sheriff's secretive plots leading to violence, setting a tone of impending doom. Throughout this introduction, Crake provides a rich backdrop of 11th-century England, establishing the moral dilemmas faced by characters caught between their ancestral loyalty and their current realities.
