Episode Synopsis

The Viking Age, especially in the British Isles, is often associated with a few key places; such as Lindisfarne, London, Dublin, and of course York. However, the Viking world was a wide and varied place, and we plan to take a closer look at more of it with a particular focus on  places not commonly associated with the Vikings. In this episode Lucas speaks to John Fletcher, author of the recently released The Western Kingdom: The Birth of Cornwall. Lucas and John discuss the very interesting, but lesser known Viking History of Cornwall.  For more information on the topics mentioned in the episode, please check out:Trewhiddle HoardScourgeCardinham CrossHogback GravesListen and enjoy, and please consider leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen!
