Invaders!
The Dark Ages - a time of great change when Britain was host to many peoples - Anglo-Saxons, Anglo-Danes, Norse, Cymru, Viking raiders and even
Norman mercenaries.....
The Battle
that defined Britain
When you think of pivotal battles that shaped the course of
Britain, what first comes to mind? The Battle of Hastings in 1066? The Battle of
Agincourt? The Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485? Whatever it might be, the chances are that
the Battle of Brunanburh wasn’t the first that sprung to
mind and yet curiously, it was the Battle of Brunanburh
that defined the countries that we now know as England, Scotland and
Wales.....
Offa, His Dyke and His Legendary Hospitality!
Offa, King of the Mercians, is best remembered for his Dyke but perhaps he could also be known as the 'father-in-law from
Hell'?!
