Over the years, I’ve come to realize just how much I love wonder tales. And, apparently, I’m not alone. Game of Thrones, Outlander, and Bridgerton are just a few of the many famous book series turned television series that are/were wildly popular. So, when it came time to teach a unit on Beowulf to my
NOTE: This is an older version of the Heptarchy map. I have uploaded a newer, updated version that is more accurate to the time period. Handpainted and researched map of medieval England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. In this era of political division, the seven Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms (the Heptarchy) are on the brink of disaster as the Vikings are about to begin their first raids on the British Isles. The writing is in old English, although the font used was not developed until a later period of the Medieval Age. High-quality giclee print available at various sizes. The actual detail is greater than in the photos, which have been compressed for Etsy. This piece took roughly one week to research, draft, and paint. Unfortunately, I do not typically sell my prints with the frames but if that is something you are interested in, please contact me directly. Additionally, if you are interested in the original rather than a print, please contact me directly.

In search of the origins of the English village Just how much information has come from excavation undertaken in advance of development work? In a major survey of Anglo-Saxon settlement, John Blair has been discovering what riches lie in the archives. It is useless for Anglo-Saxonists to deny it: Roman villas and Norman castles have a hugely greater impact on most people’s imagination than anything built in England between AD 400 and 1050. Yet small-scale works of art from the period — the Sutton Hoo and Staffordshire treasures, the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Alfred Jewel — are probably better known
