The years between the Norman Conquest and the death of Elizabeth I were some of the most turbulent in our history. Yet they are the very foundation of our lives and heritage. Professor Barry Cunliffe considers those times from the vantage point of Southern England in the 1970s.

The Age of Elizabeth was an age of exploration and conquest as countries wrangled and fought for the wealth of a newly discovered world.
