What would have happened if William of Normandy had lost the Battle of Hastings? What kind of nation would have been born if King Harald of Norway had conquered England instead? How different our history could have been if the wind had blown in the other direction for just one day in the summer of 1066. The Hidden Crown is an alternate-history adventure that takes place a hundred years after such events. The country that would have become Norman England has split in two: the Anglo-Norse kingdom of Northland and the Saxon realm of Aengland. The two nations have been at peace for nearly a century, that is until the dying king of Aengland unexpectedly names his nine-year-old granddaughter, Adelise, as his heir. During her journey home to Aengland through the wilds of Northland, the child-queen is rescued from a bloody assassination attempt by the young Northlandic soldier, Thurstan Aelfsson. Now the two sole survivors of the attack must find safety and allies in a desperate flight across the two kingdoms, never knowing whether they are about to encounter friend or foe.

This handbook represents a major landmark of interdisciplinary encounter histories, providing a wide-ranging collection of essays on human and non-human actors on the oceans, seas, beaches, bays and estuaries where cultures and species often meet. Focusing primarily on Pacific, Indian and Australasian histories, contributions cover First Nations accounts of seafaring and Indigenous intermediaries; interactions across oceans; shipwrecks and material culture; and maritime interaction sphere like the Swahili Coast, the Maritime Silk Road, and the Manila Galleon Network. In doing so, it provides a cutting-edge assessment of the vibrant field of oceanic and maritime history, and charts a blueprint for future research in the field.
