A young boat builder dreams of a better future after a devastating Viking raid shatters the life he hoped for.
A Norman noblewoman follows her husband to a new land, only to find her life there shockingly different; and a capable monk at Shiring Abbey has a vision of transforming his humble home into a centre of learning admired throughout Europe.
