Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of William of Wykeham
There, in the old monastery of Winchester, was nursed the great St. Swithin, in his own time the barrier of England against the Danes; there, too, the royal Confessor held his court; and from the days of Egbert to those of Richard Coeur de Lion.
