| Summary | "Harold: the Last of the Saxon Kings — Volume 12" by Lytton is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the Battle of Hastings, a pivotal event in English history, and centers around the lives and struggles of key characters, notably Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England. The opening chapters explore themes of fate, loyalty, loss, and the conflict between pagan and Christian beliefs as characters navigate a world on the brink of upheaval. The beginning of the story introduces us to Hilda, a prophetess, who is consumed by sorrow for the fate of her granddaughter, Edith, and for Harold, as tension mounts in the kingdom. As Hilda reflects near a melancholic pool in a dark forest, a mysterious witch appears, urging Hilda to craft a powerful banner for King Harold as a gift for his union with Edith. The narrative then shifts to King Harold and his council in Westminster, where they discuss the imminent invasion by William of Normandy. The conflicts and debates among the characters reveal their respective motivations, fears, and the political landscape leading up to the battle, setting the stage for the dramatic confrontation that shapes the future of England.
