<p><strong>Series 1</strong> is a concise social and political history of England from the 5th to 11th centuries.</p><p><strong>Series 2 </strong>is a social history how society and lordship worked during and directly after the migration period. It then looks at how that culture evolved, as the impact of economic development and the Viking invasions wrought changes in lordship and political structures.
