Dr. Eleanor Janega is on a field trip to uncover the secrets of the Anglo-Saxon palace at Ad Gefrin, the summer residence of King Edwin of Northumbria. Joined on site by experts Chris Ferguson and Professor Sarah Semple, she explores recent archaeological discoveries that reveal grand halls, unique timber structures, and hints of mass Christian conversions. From the mysterious grandstand to the epic feasts hosted by kings and queens, these find buried deep in the ground paint a vivid picture of medieval power dynamics and the site's critical role in Northumbria's golden age.See the artefacts at the <a href="https://adgefrin.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ad Gefrin Museum</a>More:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1PNhbQhukmiKvoSgaY2x8E" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How The North Turned Christian</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/08WODOXmnYpKICmr7zkjvY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Venerable Bede</a>Gone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega.
