The Vikings have landed ...

Sven Erikson and his kinsmen are ashore ...
The vikings leave their ships and stream through the deserted settlement of Cyddingastun ...
As they move into the open farmland beyond the settlement, on the nearby hill they catch sight of  perhaps a glint of steel - a few men - then a large of array of saxons assembling - they watch as a shield wall forms ....
Thegn Rodor (a tall strong warrior) watches the vikings to assess what they will do next ...
The men in the shield wall wait for an expected onslaught of the vikings ....

to be continued ....
