Oswald Iding ruled Northumbria for eight years, from AD 632 to 642. In that time he was recognised as overlord of almost all the other Kingdoms of Britain: of Wessex, Mercia, Lindsey and East Anglia, of the Britons of Rheged, Strathclyde, Powys and Gwynedd, the Scots of Dal Riata and the Picts of the far North. A famed warrior, the 'Whiteblade' or 'Blessed arm' of legend, he won and lost his kingdom in battle. He was the first English King to die a Christian martyr. He is the embodiment of a romantic hero: the righteous exiled prince whose destiny - like J. R. R Tolkien's Aragorn for whom he is the inspiration - is to return triumphant to reclaim his kingdom.

We put a lot of time and care into our listings and photographs to provide you the information needed for a stress free purchase. You probably won't believe this but my husband spends almost an hour packing your order in the hope that if the mail decides to play football with your parcel, it will stand a few light kicks and is received in the condition described. For this reason we cannot accept any offers until after 2 weeks of listing. I hope you understand, Thanks for your time and interest.
