In the early fifth century, Britain was a ruined Roman province – a land of crumbling temples and abandoned villas. By the early eleventh century, it was dominated by a newly forged kingdom called 'England'–a country of shires, sheriffs, bishops and boroughs. That transformation was caused by the Anglo-Saxons, who arrived as immigrants at the start of the period and quickly established themselves in positions of power. Explore their journey from warlords to kings, from paganism to Christianity, and from a galaxy of competing peoples to a single, unified nation. Led by Dr. Marc Morris, a historian who specializes in the Middle Ages. He studied and taught at the universities of London and Oxford and is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He is the author of the bestseller The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England, as well as The Norman Conquest and biographies of Edward I and King John.
