Review: Not as funny as it tries to be

A fair story, fairly well edited for an e-book, and pretty true to the period.  However the humor in this seemed contrived, and very toilet oriented.  All Danes in in are dumb, but violent.  Normans are crazy, and violent.  Saxons are...  One Saxon protagonist is the bottom-of-the-social-heap waste (meaning  toilet waste) remover of his town who falls in with the Danes rather than raise the alarm, the other is a "hostage" who cannot believe that his parents choose to live in Normandy.  Both are caricatures.  The story (about Harold's escape from Hastings) is dumber than the Danes in it, which is pretty dumb.
