Five Boroughs of the Danelaw
This documentary explores the Five Boroughs of the Danelaw, the network of towns that formed the heart of Viking-controlled England. It examines how Norse settlers governed, traded and shaped the culture of these strongholds during a turbulent age. Blending history and place, it reveals the lasting Scandinavian imprint on English law, language and daily life. Along the way it shows how these frontier towns bridged two very different worlds. Engaging and well-told, it is a rewarding watch for anyone drawn to the Viking age. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
