Summary

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with The Saxon Storyteller, a very near and dear member of our production team whose amazing art you get to see on each and every one of our episodes! Together with the boys he'll be discussing the Anglo Saxons and their most famous epic poem Beowulf. Will they actually manage to get through a decent summary of the poem, or will Mathias spend most of the time talking about how Charlemagne actually started the idea of the Crusades? Well... it's complicated.
