| Summary | "Yorkshire Family Romance" by Frederick Ross is a historical narrative or collection of tales written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the rich tapestry of English history, focusing particularly on significant events and figures connected to Yorkshire. It paints a vivid picture of life during the Saxon era, featuring characters such as Kings, Earls, and Christian missionaries, reflecting the era’s struggles between paganism and the spread of Christianity. The opening of the book centers around a historical recount of Northumbria during a period marked by anarchy and the eventual restoration of Christianity, notably attributed to King Oswald. Key figures, such as Oswy and Eadwine, emerge as central characters in the tumultuous political landscape, engaging in battles against pagan forces and overseeing the establishment of religious practices in their realm. The narrative intertwines personal and political elements, setting the stage for conflicts and resolutions that underscore the era's complexity and the significance of faith in governance.
