SEASON 1: The Danish Conquest of England

EPISODE 2: The Battle of Maldon, 991

It’s 991 in the marshes of Maldon. Ealdorman Byrhtnoth faces a brutal Viking force—likely led by the future king of Norway, Olaf Tryggvason—gathered on Northey Island. Undermanned but undeterred, Byrhtnoth has a plan. A brilliant one. But will it be enough to drive the raiders back into the sea?
