Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chronicles of the Castle and of the Earls of Leicester, From the Foundation of the Castle to the Merger of the Earldom in the Crown of England A thousand years ago Leicester was a fair city, the seat of a Christian Bishop. And it needed no other defence than the strong walls, which girt it around, and which the Roman conquerors had made for its safety and their defence. But in the days of King Alfred, great trouble came over the land, for the Pagans had invaded it, and many great and strong cities were taken by them; and amongst these was the city of Leicester; for hither came the pagan Danes, the worshippers of Odin, and for nearly fifty years they held mastery therein, and they drove out the Bishop (and he was the last Bishop of Leicester), and destroyed the Christian temples.
