Ok, so last week I left you on a bit of a cliffhanger. We talked about the invasion stories and I alluded to how some people don’t believe that there was an invasion, but I didn’t really go into a serious analysis of the evidence as it relates to it.
But worry not, this entire episode is going to consist of nerdy analysis as well as a story about a miracle that doesn’t seem particularly miraculous. So lets get into it!

So to start with I’m going to try to compile the various accounts and stories we have of the Anglo Saxon invasion into a single narrative. As you might recall from prior episodes, this means that I’ll be drawing from some rather unreliable sources. But I think that telling the story in a single cohesive fashion will be useful. After that, I’ll break it down and we can discuss evidence supporting or contradicting the story.
