Embark on an Epic Journey Through England's Fascinating History

Two manuscripts in one audiobook:

• The Anglo-Saxons: An Enthralling Overview of the People and History of England from the Early Middle Ages to the Battle of Hastings • Medieval England: An Enthralling Overview of the English Middle Ages

In the first part of this audiobook, you will discover:

• The Fall of Roman Britain: How the departure of Roman legions left a power vacuum filled by new settlers. • Mass Migrations: How the arrival and settlement of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes transformed the English landscape. • Christian Conversion: The pivotal role of missionaries like Augustine of Canterbury in converting the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. • Rising Kingdoms: The formation and rise of powerful kingdoms such as Mercia and Wessex. • Viking Invasions: The fierce Viking raids and the establishment of the Danelaw. • Alfred the Great: The legendary king’s resistance against the Viking conquest and his lasting reforms. • The Battle of Hastings: The climactic clash that ended Anglo-Saxon rule and ushered in Norman dominance.

In the second part of this audiobook, you will learn about:

• How England got started • What it took to be the best and worst English king • Why you wouldn’t want to be a peasant in the Middle Ages • How one of the greatest catastrophes in human history, the Black Death, unfolded • The harsh punishments that kept the peace • How the church became the most powerful organization of the period • Why armored cavalry stopped being used in battles • What medieval people did for fun
