Season 2018 / 2019 - Talk 16 D - Aethelstan
David Simpson's talk on Aethelstan is the last in a series of four short talks given at the end of the Summer 'Term' to the Farnham U3A World History Group.

David tells us that he is a forgotten King from the Dark Ages. Aethelstan was the first King of the English! As late as the Elizabethan age he was seen as a hero in stage plays.

Aethelstan destroyed the invader in 937 and preserved the English throne. He was famous across Europe.
