RunningDocumentary showWar, History

In this series, Dr Xand van Tulleken and archaeologist Raksha Dave tell the brutal story of one of the most bloody and savage conquests in English History.

One thousand years ago, England was invaded. Arriving in an enormous fleet of Viking longships, thousands of Viking Warriors, led by the teenage Danish Prince Canute, rampaged throughout the country, spreading death and destruction. They were intent on a total regime change, crowning Canute as the first Viking king of England. Only the ailing English King Ethelred the Unready and his son Edmund Ironside stood in their way.

Xand and Raksha follow the bloody fight for the throne of England chapter by chapter as the Vikings bring England to its knees. They reveal the terrifying brutality of Canute's Viking forces and uncover what the Vikings were really like as they blasted their way throughout the country. This is a story of blood, conquest and kingdom.
