SEASON 5: The Norman Conquest of England

EPISODE 86: The Harrying of the North

Today, we ride straight into the storm. The year is 1070, and in the smoldering wake of rebellion, King William unleashes a campaign of devastation the likes of which England has never seen. Villages are burned. Fields are salted. The dead go unburied. This is no mere suppression—it’s calculated annihilation. This is the Harrying of the North. And it will echo through English memory for centuries.
