Summary "Wulfric the Weapon Thane: A Story of the Danish Conquest of East Anglia" by Charles W. Whistler is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Danish conquest of East Anglia, a turbulent period in English history marked by Viking invasions. The narrative follows Wulfric, the son of a thane, as he navigates the challenges posed by both the sea and the encroaching Danish forces, with crucial plotlines including his interactions with Jarl Lodbrok and the larger historical figures surrounding the Danish conquest. The opening of the novel sets the stage with Wulfric and his father, Elfric, preparing to embark on a maritime journey that reflects their deep connection to the sea. As they make plans to sail their ship, the looming threat of the Danes is introduced through the fears of Wulfric's mother regarding potential encounters with Viking raiders. Their voyage takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a skilled rower in a small boat battling the rough seas, leading to a dramatic rescue that intertwines their fates with that of Jarl Lodbrok, establishing a strong camaraderie and foreshadowing further adventures. This initial chapter establishes Wulfric's motivations, his relationships with family, and the historical context, all of which will drive the narrative forward.
