Born of the Sun (68 page)

By the end of Ceawlin’s reign, then, late in the sixth century, Wessex would have comprised the present English counties of Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, and a large part of Gloucestershire.

The lines of Anglo-Saxon poetry in the novel are from the poems
The Wanderer, The Ruin,
and (most of them)
Beowulf.

For my mother and father, with love and gratitude
