Description

In this episode, we uncover how Britain changed after the Romans left — with the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, the spread of Christianity, the Viking invasions, and the first steps toward a united England.
Learn who Alfred the Great really was, what the Danelaw meant, and why Edward the Confessor’s death in 1066 changed everything.
