Course overview
Course description
This Intermediate online course will take a detailed look at the life and times of Anglo-Saxon England and other realms of the British Isles under the threat and onslaught of the Vikings in the 9th Century.
The course will be delivered by an experienced and friendly tutor who will build your knowledge around one of the most fascinating subjects in History whilst facilitating your own critical thinking and evaluation skills.
This course will explore reasons for the decline of Mercia. You will also explore key features of the Viking raids and be able to summarise the impact of the Viking raids on Pictland. There will also be detailed analysis regarding the success of Wessex after 825AD and an evaluation of the reasons for this success.
For optional pre-course preparation you could take a look at 'The Anglo Saxons; A History of the Beginnings of England' by Marc Morris. This reading is not at all mandatory but may whet your appetite for more!
