Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms: Northumbria

After the southern kingdoms exercised overlordship in sixth-century England, Northumbrian kings rose to power, helped in part by political marriages. This course will study the socio-cultural and military aspects behind the rise of the powerful Northumbrian ‘Bretwalda’ (Edwin, Oswald and Oswiu), during the seventh century. Both documentary evidence and archaeological findings will be considered.
