What is The Saga of Hengest about?

Exiled after a bitter battle in Finnsburgh, the Angle thegn, Hengest, turns his three war keels to Britannia. All he wants is land and a mead hall of his own, but he ends up winning a country - a country that will later be named England.The original Saga of Hengest is lost, except for a tantalising fragment known as the Freswael, which tells of that battle in Finnesburgh. The rest of the saga has been reconstructed from other, later, sources, mainly Layamon's Brut. This is the short version of the saga, the long version, over 700 pp. in length, is entitled English Dawn. A retelling in alliterative verse entitled Hengest, is also available.
