After the Romans: The Survival of the British Kingdoms

Starts: Tuesday 21 April 2026, 7pm to 9pm GMT

After the Romans left, many Romano-British kingdoms emerged. The northern kingdoms of Ebrauc, Rheged, Craven, Elmet and Gododdin were soon absorbed by the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria, and Dumnonia (Cornwall) was annexed by Wessex in the ninth century. However, the British kingdom of Strathclyde survived until just before the Norman Conquest, and the last British principality of Wales was conquered by Edward I in 1282.

This course examines the origins & stories of these Post Roman British Kingdoms, how they lost their independence, and their influence on our culture and literature.
