Description

The year is 878 AD and Anglo-Saxon power is at an ebb. The kingdoms of Mercia, East Anglia and Northumbria have fallen to the Great Danish Army while Wessex hangs by a thread. A surprise attack on the royal stronghold of Chippenham has scattered the remaining Saxon armies and forced their king to shelter in the swamps of Athelney, surrounded by Danish forces.

But all hope is not lost. The people of Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire are taking up arms and rallying to their king's side. Can you use these reinforcements to lift the siege and reclaim England from the Danelaw?

England's future hangs in the balance. Can you follow in the footsteps of Alfred the Great?
