  • Summary

  • How do we go from the society we met last time, one that is primarily equal and poor to the medieval image of kings, men with wealth and power near unimaginable to the ordinary peasant.

    In this episode, we visit the site of Yeavering and its many strange burials to try and understand the social dynamics that resulted in kingliness.
