We explore the nature of ritual and religion and lay the groundwork for much later in our season when we discuss the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons.

And so are the British, the Picts, the Vikings, the Franks and, finally, the Normans. This is our prelude to season 2 - a high-level overview of what happens in the years between the fall of Rome and the Battle of Hastings. We talk story, theory, the problem of documents and explain how our series will be structured. Everything that comes next is going to make a whole lot of sense once you listen to this episode!

And so are the British, the Picts, the Vikings, the Franks and, finally, the Normans. This is our prelude to season 2 - a high-level overview of what happens in the years between the fall of Rome and the Battle of Hastings. We talk story, theory, the problem of documents and explain how our series will be structured. Everything that comes next is going to make a whole lot of sense once you listen to this episode!
