Summary
The throne of England is slipping from King Henry’s grasp. His only son has drowned in the English Channel, and the predators are gathering ready to devour both England and Normandy.
When the last of King Harold’s housecarls returns to England to die, he brings with him a reluctant hero who will save the kingdom. Alfraed, son of Ridley, is the first of a new breed; he is an English knight.
English Knight is a fast-moving audiobook set in that most turbulent of times, The Anarchy. Filled with action and battles, this is the first in a series of chronicles painting a picture of a bloody time in English history when the only people you could rely on were your household warriors and you slept with a dagger beneath your bed.

Superb
Another superb title by Griff Hosker, great pace and excitement, which led to binge-listening. Cannot wait for the next book in the series.The narration is fantastic, which made the experience all the better.

Good introduction to a new series
Great idea, and awesome choice of time period. Well written and performed, although a little formulaic early on

another winner
griff hosker is fast ly climbing my favourite author ranks.
saxon after 1066 had a very bad time, this story follows a returning warrior and his son from self exile, a resentful son born to luxury in constantinople must adjust to this new life.
King's, knights, soldiers and peasantry, from everyday life to intrigue and battle, great descriptive writing has you there amongst them.
add the excellent malk Williams narration, and this should be another great series.

Great book!
I normally listen to books to help me get to sleep. Sadly, this book was far too good to allow this to happen and I stayed up for too many nights listening to the tale rather than getting the much needed rest which was intended.

Interesting look into a little known chapter of British history.
I do not know this author and I chose the 1st book of this series as I appreciate the narrator’s work. The story was quite interesting and I am looking forward to the next book.

Promising start to a new series and good narration
Interesting new series about a young knight returning to England and quickly rising to prominence. Full of youth, skills and honour the hero soon enamours you to him and his cause. Excellent narration from Mark Williams although I'm always curious why narrators give Lords, Knights and gentry a 21st century toffs accent 🤷🏼♂️
If I had one (minor) criticism it would be that I am used to sagas that keep you embroiled for 20ish hours. These are more like 8,9 tops.

Griff Hosker does it again! Great Book!
A spoiled, pampered well educated son of last of King Harold’s Housecarls returns to England with great reluctance. He grew up in Constantinople where his father served the Emperor. Accompanying him and his father are 4 of his old warrior comrades. As they travel through Europe; these old warriors help the son to become a new man. Although, he has had the best of military training and great Armor; he had never been tested in battle. This first book, in a new series taking place after the Norman invasion, introduces us to an amazing new hero. Griff has a true tested formula to keep you riveted to the story. I could not put the book down. When I finished, I immediately check out audible to see when the sequel will be available. Fortunately, it will only be two weeks. Highly recommended!

The beginning of Cornwell-like saga?
I am fan of Bernard Cornwell's series and it looks like that the author of this book likes them too. I think, he decided to create the new "English history hero", then, and he has chosen even more interesting times for his saga.
I like the story, even if it is far from Cornwell's mastery. Therefore, I am going to stay with Alfred of Norton and get another book in the series, hoping that the author will be better and better at his craft - just as his hero is.
