S3 Ep 9494 – Dark Age Beliefs

<p>As we go forward in this series, what I hope you’re beginning to get a sense of from both the WelshCast and all the other shows focusing on the so called Dark Ages, is how fragmented life in Britain was at this point in history. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/115-paganism-in-britain/">94 – Dark Age Beliefs</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com">The British History Podcast</a>.</p>

S3 Ep 9393 – Chapter Three: The Warriors of God

<p>It has been nearly two hundred years since Rome withdrew from Britannia setting this small island at the edge of the world on a course that could not have been predicted. Over the generations, a new culture has developed in the lands that will one day become England, and with that new culture came new […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/114-season-three-promo/">93 – Chapter Three: The Warriors of God</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com">The British History Podcast</a>.</p>

S2 Ep 9292 – WelshCast Part Five: More People that Gildas Hated

<p>Alright, so we have two more kings of Wales before we leave Gildas and his spittle flecked rantings. And something that you might notice as we go forward is that we don’t haven’t been provided a Tyrant of Powys nor are any of the Eastern Kingdoms listed. Sure, we don’t know where Aurelias Conanus ruled, […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/213-welshcast-part-five-more-people-that-gildas-hated/">92 – WelshCast Part Five: More People that Gildas Hated</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com">The British History Podcast</a>.</p>

S2 Ep 9191 – WelshCast Part Four: Three Kings of Wales Who Really Annoyed Gildas

<p>Today, we’re going to talk about some of the people who were really pissing Gildas off. People that drove him so batty that he just couldn’t contain his rage. And since Gildas was Welsh, he was predictably focusing his ire upon the Welsh kings. Though, like I mentioned earlier, the term “Wales” isn’t something that […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/112-welshcast-part-four-three-kings-of-wales-who-really-annoyed-gildas/">91 – WelshCast Part Four: Three Kings of Wales Who Really Annoyed Gildas</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com">The British History Podcast</a>.</p>

S2 Ep 9090 – WelshCast Part Three: The Silent Treatment

<p>As you probably remember from the main podcast, before we had the appearance of major Anglo Saxon kingdoms, there was an initial migration and invasion in the sub-Roman period, with famous Germanic leaders like Hengest, Horsa, and Aelle appearing in Kent and Sussex. But there was also a staunch British resistance to these incursions lead, […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/111-welshcast-part-three-the-silent-treatment/">90 – WelshCast Part Three: The Silent Treatment</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com">The British History Podcast</a>.</p>

S2 Ep 8787 – Concubinage and Apartheid in Anglo Saxon England

<p>Ok, so last episode we ended at 597. For those of you who are really into Anglo Saxon history, you might recognize that date as the date that Christianity gets reintroduced to Anglo Saxon Britain. It’s a big deal. A huge deal, in fact. It will bring war, it will bring chaos, and it will […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/108-concubinage-and-apartheid-in-anglo-saxon-england/">87 – Concubinage and Apartheid in Anglo Saxon England</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com">The British History Podcast</a>.</p>

<p>Ok, from the title you might have gathered that we’re going to be talking about Ceawlin today.

S2 Ep 8585 – Ceawlin and the Sons of Ida

<p>So it’s 568. And things in what will someday become England are still chaotic. Remember what was going on up north in Bernicia? Where Ida, who was probably part of some sort of Anglian group, had taken control of Bamburgh, then he died, and then his sons started taking over for him?

<p>So the year is 586, and Ceawlin is the leader of the men of Wessex. Wessex has been expanding their holdings to the north and the west, and have been growing in power.

<p>We begin our story in Bannaventa Berniae, a small town somewhere in the West of Britain, probably along the coast.

<p>I’m going to wrap up the discussion of the development of regional cultures with a talk on an omnipresent (yet often ignored) influence on all of human development.

<p>Alright, so when we left off, Cerdic and his son had recently arrived on the island and the Battle of Mons Badonicus had just taken place. So that’s exciting.

S2 Ep 5050 – The Denbighshire Hill Forts

<p>Today we have something pretty exciting. Listener Simon put me in contact with Erin Robinson and Fiona Gale, who are currently working on archaeological sites in Denbighshire north Wales, and they were kind enough to agree to speak to me via Skype.
