5: A Necklace from Northumbria This week, Brian Redhead examines the seventh century and the world of Hilda the bishop-maker. On the way he meets the first recorded
Loch Ness monster eye-witness as well as the only Englishman identified by Dante's Paradise. He also explodes some Celtic myths, explores the effect of Islam on the Eastern Church and finds out why royal boiled eggs precipitated a theological clash.
