From battlefields, cathedrals and museums to castles and stately homes, from the Lancastrians, Yorkists and Roundhead Royalists to an abundance of kings called George (and Henry!), the history of our island nation unravels its rich tapestry beneath our very feet – if only you know where to look. In their story of England, Dan Snow and the History Hit team take us on a journey through thousands of years of the never-ceasing drama that unfolded as invaders and immigrants and visitors reacted with what they found here. Our ancestors overcame, co-operated, shaped this country into what it is today – our landscape, our character, our language, industries, laws, religions and settlements.
