'Massacre on the Mount' with David Stokes

HOW A MASSACRE IN GUILDFORD SET THE STAGE FOR 1066

Drawing on his new novel, Sermon of the Wolf, David Stokes tells the story of a wedding and four funerals that proved to be the prelude to the Norman Conquest.

When Emma, the Norman queen of England, married a Viking Conqueror, it led to peace for the first time in a generation. Twenty years later, treachery and murder staged here in Guildford sounded the death knell of Anglo-Saxon England.

Join us on October 15th, where David Stokes will discuss his latest novel, and the massacre in Guildford that inspired it.
