Bloomsbury presents The King in the North by Max Adams, read by Hamilton McLeod.

A triumph – a Game of Thrones in the Dark Ages' TOM HOLLAND.
The magisterial biography of Oswald Whiteblade, exiled prince of Northumbria, who returned in blood and glory to reclaim his birthright.

A charismatic leader, a warrior whose prowess in battle earned him the epithet Whiteblade, an exiled prince who returned to claim his birthright, the inspiration for Tolkein's Aragorn.

Oswald of Northumbria was the first great English monarch, yet today this legendary figure is all but forgotten. In this panoramic portrait of Dark Age Britain, archaeologist and biographer Max Adams returns the king in the North to his rightful place in history.

Another wonderful read from Max Adams. So much detail! Hamilton McCloud’s audio is also superb. He brings the story to light and really nails Adams’ quips.

Fantastic

Lots of backstory about the time and region using a variety of resources. I did not know how Northumbria was so interesting! Will probably listen to this one again.

Fascinating

A good example of how society functioned during a period of history that time has mostly forgotten. Adams does not overstep facts while trying to explain his take on the possibilities

Enjoyable listen

I was hyped up since he’s described as a Beowulf and Aragorn inspiration. But he’s hardly mentioned! The whole book is about church politics over anything else, there is no detail about any secular happening of the time, and no mention of the Whiteblade or Blessed Arm monikers getting earned. Everything in here was interesting for someone I’m sure, and this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of British Christianity and the Irish church (well researched), but it’s not what it claims to be.

Not like First Kingdom! This book is not about Oswald.

I felt like I learned very little about Oswald of Northumbria. The book seems to spend more time on everything else during the time period and very little on the subject himself. The narrator does his best to bring the material to life though.

Maybe Should Have Been Titled Differently
