MJ Porter’s Saxon Stories Order and Series Pages | Infographic

Confused? You’re not alone

Trying to keep tabs of the chronology of my series set in Saxon England is difficult, even for me. It doesn’t help that I often work backwards, and sometimes have a tendency to skip backwards and forwards, and sometimes don’t finish things either. This might help.

The Dark Age Chronicles

There are no character crossovers for this series because we’re right back at the very beginning. But, there will be some Easter Eggs moving forwards.

Gods and Kings

Character crossovers – no one specific but there is sometimes reference to these earlier battles in later books.

The House of Mercia

This is my current project and I have no more information to share just yet but keep checking back.

The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles

Character crossovers – Icel and Coelwulf (as a very young child) from The Mercian Ninth Century

The Mercian Ninth Century (AKA The Last King/Coelwulf books)

Character crossovers – Icel from The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles

The Tenth Century Royal Women (The Lady of Mercia’s Daughter and Kingmaker)

Character crossovers – Athelstan and Ealdorman Athelstan (before becoming an ealdorman) from The Brunanburh Series.

The Brunanburh Series

Character crossovers – Lady Ælfwynn (briefly) and Lady Eadgifu from Kingmaker (a central character to The Brunanburh Series).

The First Queen

Character crossovers – Ealdorman Leofwine from The Earls of Mercia series as a very young man. Lady Eadgifu from both The Tenth Century books, and The Brunanburh series in book 1.

The Earls of Mercia Series

Character crossover – Lady Elfrida from The First Queen of England.

Lady Estrid

Character crossover – Cnut, Ealdorman Leofwine, Leofric and others from The Earls of Mercia series – this book is a side-story to the main series but can be read as a standalone.

And don’t forget my non-fiction title, which is a perfect counterpart for The Tenth Century, and The Brunanburh Series, The Royal Women Who Made England
