Max Adams: The Mercian Chronicles

Writer, archaeologist, woodsman and author of King of the North, Max Adams turns his attention to a long-neglected backwater in British history – the eighth century. He recreates the golden age of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, which spread across a broad swathe of central England, through its landscapes, peoples, conflicts, power struggles and political geography. An enlightening talk on a fascinating century of change.
