MARC MORRIS
The Anglo-Saxons: MYTH & REALITY
The Winstone Talk.
Ever since the Norman Conquest, the English have looked back to the Anglo Saxon era with nostalgia. The period between 450 and 1066, when England first came into being, has always been regarded as a golden age. Anglo-Saxon kings were elected and their church more pristine, women had better rights and people enjoyed greater freedoms, but how much of this is true and how much wishful thinking? Bestselling historian Marc Morris, presenter of the Channel 4 series Castles, is the author of The Anglo-Saxons, described by Dan Snow as ‘an absolute masterpiece’. He shares the real story of the beginnings of England.
The Winstone Talk is supported by the K D Winstone Charitable Trust.
