The Hunt for Brunanburh: the battle that made England!

The Jammy History Podcast

The history of England is full of battles, but which has been referred to as the battle that made England? The general consensus is that it was the battle of Brunanburh, an epic clash between the Anglo-Saxon king Æthelstan against a coalition of vikings, Scots, Welsh (or Britons) and Irishmen. It was the battle that marked the first time England would be a united kingdom under one banner. But despite it's significance, we don't know where the battle actually took place. So join me as I go through a crash course in Anglo-Saxon history as well as delve into the debate over where the battle took place.
