How Dark were the Dark Ages? The North of England from the 5th to 8th centuries

When the Romans left Britain did all the lights go out? This 8 week course aims to throw light on the history of the North of England and show that the Dark Ages were not dark at all. Starting with the impact of the Anglo-Saxon invasions on Romano-Celtic "Yorkshire" we will explore the emergence of the Saxon kingdoms using archaeology, chronicles, poetry and prose accounts.
