In a Time Of Shadows (1x2)

Air date: Jul 15, 2002

It is the time when the Anglo-Saxons impose their culture and their authority on the Northern reaches of Europe. It is a time when we discover that the first Englishmen were, in fact, Germans. These Northern people enjoyed a golden age unaffected by Rome and just 30 years after the Romans relinquished Britain, the "Anglo-Saxons" made their move. We look at the lasting influence of Saxon leaders like Alfred the Great, and his blue print for social justice.
