Michael Wood argues that the most important and influential British kings were a father, daughter, and grandson who lived over a thousand yea rs ago during the age of the Vikings. 　　Alfred of Wessex 　　King Alfred and the Anglo SaxonsEpisode 1 of 3 　　King Alfred the Great fights a desperate guerrilla war in the marshes of Somerset - burning the cakes on the way- before his decisive victory at Edington. Creating towns, trade and coinage, reviving learning and literacy, Alfred then laid the foundations of a single kingdom of 'all the English'. Filmed on location from Reading to Rome, using original texts read in Old English, and interviews with leading scholars, Michael Wood describes a man who was 'not just the greatest Briton, but one of the greatest rulers of any time or place'. 　　The Lady of the Mercians 　　King Alfred and the Anglo SaxonsEpisode 2 of 3 　　In this second episode, Alfred's children continue the family plan to create a kingdom of all the English. 　　Michael Wood recovers the story of Alfred's daughter Aethelflaed, the ruler of Mercia, from a copy of a lost chronicle written in Mercia in her lifetime which in the film we hear read in Old English. One of the great forgotten figures in British history, Aethelflaed led armies, built fortresses, campaigned against the Vikings and was a brilliant diplomat. Her fame spread across the British Isles, beloved by her warriors and her people, she was known simply as 'the Lady of the Mercians'. Without her, concludes Michael Wood, 'England might never have happened'. 　　Aethelstan: The First King of England 　　King Alfred and the Anglo SaxonsEpisode 3 of 3 　　Travelling from Devon to Cumbria, Scotland and Rome, Michael Wood tells the tale of King Alfred's grandson Aethelstan's wars, his learning and his lawmaking, showing how he created a national coinage and tracing the origin of the English parliament to the king's new assembly politics. But there's also a dark side, with later legends that the king had his brother drowned at sea. In his last desperate struggle, Aethelstan defeated a huge invasion of Vikings and Scots in what became known as the Anglo-Saxon 'Great War'. 　　Wood argues that Aethelstan was one of the greatest English monarchs, and with his grandfather Alfred, his father Edward and his aunt Aethelflaed, a member of our most remarkable royal family and 'even more than the Tudors, the most gifted and influential rulers in British history'.

英国的盎格鲁撒克逊时代，对所有人来说都是一个神秘的时代，它确确实实的存在过，却又在诺曼人入侵之后销声匿迹，没有留下曾经存在过的痕迹。这个曾经辉煌一时的部落时代，给我们留下大量的历史宝藏，这些宝藏以其精美的工艺令后世惊叹，令我们膜拜不已。但正是这样一个文化，却又没有留下什么文字记录，只有一首战歌留存世上： 　　战马骑手今何在？ 　　王者去何方？ 　　华堂宝座今何在？ 　　盛宴去何方？ 　　啊 葡萄美酒夜光杯！ 　　啊 金鳞盔甲英雄配！ 　　啊 人民百姓尊荣贵！
