Cornelia Funke Quotes
The tent in which she first met him had smelled of blood, of the death she did not understand, and still she had thought of it all as a game. She had promised him the world. His flesh in the flesh of his enemies. And much too late had she realized what he had sown in her. Love. Worst of all poisons.
Funke, Cornelia. Fearless. Little, Brown and Company, 2013.
First Saxon King in Britain. The Saxons had come to Briton as “allies” to defend the Northern border in exchange for some Northern provinces. See {617659}. After doing so at a celebration of Britons and Saxons, the Briton nobility was murdered and Vortigern had to cede other provinces in the Midlands. The Saxons have been entrenched in Britain ever since with most people having little idea of how they first got there.
