256 – Scandinavian Settlement in England

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/10/12

For the last few episodes we’ve been discussing the way life has been changing in Southern Britain. While the dramatic battles and political maneuvering dominated the story of the last season, you’re now learning of the many of the changes that were changing how lives were lived on the island, and some of them weren’t […] The post 256 – Scandinavian Settlement in England first appeared on The British History Podcast.

Members Only 89 – The Ancient British Sex Trade

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/10/05

Most of us do it at least once in our lives. We given it have a lot of names for it over the years – winding little balls of yarn, rolling in the hay, making whoopie, having the corn ground. And today the BHP is going there. This episode is about sex. It’s a critical […] The post Members Only 89 – The Ancient British Sex Trade first appeared on The British History Podcast.

255 – Londonwic to London

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/09/28

London is a world unto itself, and it has been for most of its very, very long history. One of the weirdest things about the city is that it contains its own separate city – distinct from the rest of London. It has its own laws, its own government, its own walls. The City of […] The post 255 – Londonwic to London first appeared on The British History Podcast.

254 – Worcester

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/09/14

If you read of old Britain… even if you read of modern Britain… you’d be forgiven if you thought it was all London. And London does soak up a ton of the spotlight. It’s like the Stonehenge of the non-neolithic period. You can’t avoid it. And we won’t here, either. London will be covered regularly, […] The post 254 – Worcester first appeared on The British History Podcast.

253 – Anglo Saxon Market Towns in the Viking Age

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/09/07

Cultures change all the time – yours is changing right now, in ways you may or may not realize. It’s a completely normal, everyday fact that has been with humanity since we began. Probably before we began. And yet, telling the story of how a culture changed is extremely challenging. Cultural shifts are messy, they’re […] The post 253 – Anglo Saxon Market Towns in the Viking Age first appeared on The British History Podcast.

252 – The Coming of the Anglo-Scandinavians

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/09/01

At the start of 867, there were four major Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in Britain. By 874, three of the four – Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia – had lost their independence. That’s a timespan of only 7 years, and in that 7 years the political landscape of Britain had changed dramatically and permanently. That’s insane. For […] The post 252 – The Coming of the Anglo-Scandinavians first appeared on The British History Podcast.

Members Only 88 – The Making of King Edward the Elder

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/08/23

Edward, son of Alfred, had a rather strange name for someone who was in line to take the throne. Edward isn’t something that appears in previous West Saxon royal lineages. The house of Wessex preferred AEthel for their children. King AEthelwulf named his children AEthelstan, AEthelred, AEthelbald, AEthelberht, AEthelswith…. Names that boasted of the family’s […] The post Members Only 88 – The Making of King Edward the Elder first appeared on The British History Podcast.
