Take on the role of an Anglo-Saxon and Viking, to learn the differences between them, both on the battle field and off.
-
Endure the very first Viking Raid as a Monk at Lindisfarne.
-
Come face to face with Hurscarl Warriors on the battle field and discover how to defeat them.
-
Transform your school hall into a battlefield to learn how to fight in an Anglo-Saxon shield wall.
