The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous. Click subscribe to view all the episodes.

88 – WelshCast Part One: From the Stone Ages to the Withdrawal of Rome
Ever since I did the Scotcast I’ve been receiving messages on facebook, on twitter, on the forums, and I’ve even been getting personal emails asking for more about Wales. And my response has always been the same, I’ll do it but not yet.

episode 85: Ceawlin and the Sons of Ida
So it’s 568. And things in what will someday become England are still chaotic. Remember what was going on up north in Bernicia?

episode 83: Dark Age Warfare Combo Episode
Ok, so last time we talked about how Aethelberht of Kent invaded the kingdom of Wessex and was pushed out by Ceawlin and his army. We don’t have a lot of facts regarding that conflict, we aren’t even told why they were fighting, but we know that they were both destined to become Bretwaldas and […]
