The History of England

This my re-telling of the story of England. I aim to be honest, and rigorous - but always loving of my country"s history. It is a regular, chronological podcast, starting from the end of Roman Britain. There are as many of the great events I can squeeze in, of course, but I also try to keep an eye on how people lived, their language, what was important to them, the forces that shaped their lives and destinies, that sort of thing.
