The Jomsvikings were among the most feared elite warriors of the Viking Age—disciplined mercenaries whose reputation spread across northern Europe. In this episode, we follow Thorkell the Tall and the great Viking raids on England, as powerful fleets descended on the kingdom in search of silver, tribute, and conquest. From devastating attacks on English towns and churches to battles against royal armies, the Jomsviking campaigns helped push England into one of the most dangerous periods of its history.
We explore Thorkell’s role in the invasions, the brutal raids that terrorised the English countryside, the elite mercenary culture of the Jomsvikings, and the political struggles that eventually drew these warriors into the service of kings on both sides of the conflict.

![The Last Stand of Paganism in Early England | Penda of Mercia
When the anglo Saxons invaded England in the 5th century, 4 majour kingoms would rise from the ashes, these were, notthumbria, Mercia, Wessex & East Anglia. The anglo Saxons who were originally pagans would would mostly convert to Christianity, with the pagan kings often converting for political reasons such as the imposition by a more powerful king, to gain legitimacy or the chritian promise of gaining immortality upon onces death. One Man who resisted however, was Penda the King of Mercia.
Described as the last great pagan warrior-king among the Anglo-Saxons & a most warlike man of the royal race of the mercians,
his destruction sounded the death of English paganism as a political & religious ideology and thus, all of Englands Kingdoms would fall under the spell of Christianity with their original pagan traditions, customs and way of life fading from living memory. This is the tale of Penda, the killer of Kings, a man whose will was forged in war and who was unbending till the end, being the last Anglo-saxon King to die a pagan. It was he who forged Mercia into a mighty Kingdom and it was he who allowed Mercia to become a dominant Kingdom which would go on to define England’s political landscape for centuries to come. This is his story.
