Dan Snow’s online channel HistoryHit TV has just released the documentary ‘In Search of the Great Viking Army’ in which I appear as an expert interviewed by Dan about the life and death of King Edmund of East Anglia, the Vikings’ most famous victim during the winter of 869-70, and the subject of my book Edmund: In Search of England’s Lost King. Around the same time as the documentary HistoryHit also released an episode of its ‘Going Medieval’ podcast featuring an interview between me and Dr Cat Jarman in which I go into much more detail about Edmund and his significance for the formation of England and an English national identity.
