The English

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In the second of eight programmes, Malcolm Billings and Jonathan Riley-Smith step into the ninth century in their search for the English. A new terror - the Vikings - have arrived. But kings such as Alfred defend the people against the pagan onslaught and traditions emerge which remain today. There are almost three centuries between the Viking and Norman invasions of England, but they witnessed the making of a nation.
Music by Steven Faux , performed by the Dufay Collective.
