I grew up on the Council end of a Wythenshawe road where the posh kids who included Michael Wood TV historian lived. We played football on the fields together and I still get a kick !!%£ out of watching his fascinating programmes about Saxon and Norman England . Peter Dobing also lived on the posh part and Big Mal lived just off it.

The Dig, the film currently on Netflix, is interesting as it’s based on the archaeological find at Sutton Hoo which helped us learn a lot about the Anglo-Saxons and the Dark Ages.

Worth a look and thank you. Wikipedia has an excellent timeline were you can click on the links and wander off for some in depth reading. I had no idea that back in 1016 we had a cnunt for a King!

I had an Ancestry DNA test done a few years back. Confirmed a few things I expected (predominantly English and Irish) but also threw up swedish, norwegian and also Iberian Peninsula. The biggest shock though was the Caucasus region.
As I said earlier, fascinating stuff to see and read the "travels" of our ancestors. Whether it be literally or by how events impacted on them.
