  • Lindsey: The Vanished Kingdom

    Lindsey: The Vanished Kingdom
    May 8 2024
    The great professor of Anglo-Saxon history, Simon Keynes, once called Lindsey a ‘kingdom without a history’. This is because there is no written evidence from the kingdom itself and only a tiny amount written about it from contemporaries. However, there is some evidence in the form of archaeology which has shed valuable light on aspects of Lindsey’s history. In today’s episode, we will ask how accurate it is to say that Lindsey is a kingdom without a history.

  • The Hwicce

    The Hwicce
    Apr 26 2024
    This episode we will be looking at one of the most elusive of the small kingdoms which proliferated in early Anglo-Saxon England. The Hwicce were located mainly in what is today Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and Gloucestershire. Their history is extremely patchy, but from what can be said they offer a unique view of the emergence and downfall of a tribal kingdom caught between the worlds of the Britons and the Anglians.

Fascinating history

If you are interested in the history of pre-Conquest England, this is a great resource. The host is clearly very knowledgeable and writes/presents his information well. I am thoroughly enjoying this podcast.
