🚩 Battle of Maldon (991) is described as “a story of guts and glory; patriot versus enemy”. The aftermath of this hard fought battle was the first time that ‘Danegeld’ was paid to the Vikings, which marked the beginning of a new era of Viking raids in England. Bribe in exchange for peace motivated an evergrowing number of Viking raiders, which eventually led to the full conquest of England by Cnut the Great in 1016 – you can also watch that video here: https://youtu.be/HZ4-1E9ep3s

Alfred the Great and Athelstan, the Kings that made England (ALL PARTS-ALL BATTLES) FULL DOCUMENTARY

“The saddest thing about any man is that he be ignorant, and the most exciting thing is that he knows.” Alfred the Great’s life had been one of great success for the Anglo-Saxon people. In the face of overwhelming odds, he united the Anglo-Saxons into one nation and beat back those who sought to end Anglo-Saxon England. His reign paved the way for the future unified Kingdom of England. Alfred’s grandson, Athelstan, cemented his legacy by finishing off the Viking threat and forming the Kingdom of England.

🚩 In the early 10th century, Britain was divided. Several Kings and Earls vied for land and power. King Athelstan brought together the Anglo-Saxons against a newly formed Celtic/Norse army. A defeat for Athelstan would cause the fledgling Kingdom of England to disintegrate. A victory, would ensure its survival.

Battle of Ashdown, 871 ⚔️ Alfred the Great takes on the Viking ‘Great Heathen Army’ ⚔️ Part 1/2

🚩 In January 871, Alfred the Great, then a prince of only 21, led an army in battle against the invading Vikings, commanded by Halfdan, one of Ragnar Lothbrok’s sons. For his valiant defence of his kingdom against a stronger army and his reforms in the reconstruction of Wessex and beyond, he became known as ‘the Great’ – no other English king or queen earned that sobriquet.
