In this video, I explore the earliest Viking raids on English soil—from the shocking assault on the holy island of Lindisfarne in 793, to the often-overlooked but crucial battles of Carhampton and Oakfield. Plus a Viking alliance with the Cornish.

Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today. History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens. So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life. My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you.
