SEASON 1: The Danish Conquest of England

EPISODE 3: A Storm In Every Port

Between 991 and 1012, England enters a slow-burning crisis. As King Aethelred II fights to hold his throne and Sweyn Forkbeard presses his claim from across the sea, the stage is set for a clash that will upend the Anglo-Saxon world. We explore the military, political, and personal threads that define this era—including the introduction of Emma of Normandy, one of the most consequential women of medieval Europe.
