In 1688 Manchester ran claret through the public water supply, organised bonfires and fireworks and fired a full gun salute. Cromwell was out and the Jacobites were back. Learn about Culloden, the Young Pretender and where the word Geordie originates. The story of how a handful of powerful noble families with their own armies united the Plantagenet banner, knighting a loin steak (Sir Loin!). Heady mead! Rosa Alba.

An intense and riveting read. Hilda founded Whitby Abbey in 657 and the southern tip of Danelaw territory is visible by drawing a line on the map from Canterbury to Wroxeter. The English immigrants arrived in such a huge tide of immigration that it overran the British by sheer number. Yet what became ‘England’ was ran from the off by Normans (north men) and their descendent. Hard to put down. Easy not to.
