Father Cutha has Ivar banished from Nazeing for not repudiating the spay wife Braenda. Ivar rides west for Wales with Oslac and Cyneweard. They are joined not long later by Saeward and Theodolf, who save Ivar from the clutches of Gilbert de Warenne at Bruning's inn near Oxford. Riding west, they meet Osgod and Harding, on their way from Jorvik to fight the Normans alongside Eadric and the Welsh princes Bleddyn and Rhiwallon. In Wales Ivar learns his old nemesis Copsig has been appointed earl in Northumbria and is on his way north to take up his duries. Crossing Shropshire and the Pennines in company with his friends and Harding, Ivar avoids ambush, takes the Norman earl William fitzOsbern hostage and crosses paths with Copsig in the winter wilderness. Copsig is cornered by Earl Gospatric and his kinsman Osulf at Newburn on Tyne, and Ivar finds himself tested in the first of many confrontations during the year following William's coronation.

Beauty is one of the most important and intriguing ideas in eighteenth-century culture. In Gender and the Formation of Taste in Eighteenth-Century Britain Robert Jones provides a fresh understanding of how emergent critical discourses negotiated with earlier accounts of taste and beauty in order to redefine culture in line with the polite virtues of the urban middle classes. Crucially, the ability to form opinions on questions of beauty, and the capacity to enter into debates on its nature, was thought to characterise those able to participate in cultural discourse. Furthermore, the term 'beauty' was frequently invoked, in various and contradictory ways, to determine acceptable behaviour for women. In his book, Jones discusses a wide range of material, including philosophical texts by William Hogarth and Edmund Burke and Joshua Reynolds, novels by Charlotte Lennox and Sarah Scott, and the many representations of the celebrated beauty Elizabeth Gunning.
