Norman Conquest | Edward the Confessor and the Roots of 1066 | Ancient to Recent | Episode 17

In this opening episode of our Norman Conquest series, we trace the story of England before 1066, from the rise of the Anglo-Saxons to the Viking invasions that reshaped the land. We meet Edward the Confessor, a king who never should have worn the crown, yet whose reign set the stage for the greatest turning point in English history. From Alfred the Great’s defiance to the chaos of Ethelred the Unready, and the ruthless ambition of the Godwin family, this is the turbulent world William of Normandy would one day claim as his own.
