Make Mercia Great AGAIN!
Max Adams in Conversation with Dave mUSGROVE
The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia was sandwiched in space and time between the other great kingdoms of the period, Wessex and Northumbria. But while Northumbria’s story was well chronicled by The Venerable Bede, and King Alfred of Wessex had his own biographer in the monk Asser, Mercia lacks a great historical record to remind us of its contribution to the development of England. Join bestselling author and broadcaster Max Adams, in conversation with HistoryExtra’s Dave Musgrove, to explore why Mercia deserves to be better known in this story – especially in the most contested of battlegrounds between Mercia and Wessex: Cirencester. It’s time to Make Mercia Great Again!
