Who were the Anglo-Saxons? What happened when they invaded England? Who was the first English king? How did the Anglo-Saxons clash with the Viking kings? What happened to the Saxons and Danes when the Normans invaded? Why is 1066 so important? Did the march from Hastings really happen?

All this and more from Dr Marc Morris, medieval historian and author of The Anglo Saxons and The Norman Conquest.
