Summary
The story of an English princess, a Danish king, and a wall.
Before she became a legend she was just known as Thyra, the unimportant daughter of the English king. She was no fool and knew what her future held for her: marriage or a nunnery. Neither option particularly appealed to her.
Then an offer for her hand is made by a mischievous looking lord from across the sea. Despite her family's wishes she refuses to sell herself short. She agrees to marry him but in exchange he must give her a kingdom. After all, if she is going to tie her fate to a stranger, she might as well be a queen.
In time she would be called the Pride of Denmark but for now she is just Thyra . . .
