Afternoon Play: St Brice's Day

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

One thousand years ago today King Aetheired tried to solve "the Danish problem" once and for all. But for Aelfwyn, who divorced her husband to marry the Dane, Ragnar, St Brice's Day was to leave a legacy that would last 1,000 years. A tragic love story and a sobering historical event with strong echoes of events in our time.
