37. History's Most Puzzling Century, Pt. 1 (ft. Max Adams)

May 11, 2021

In this episode, we are joined by archaeologist, historian, and author Max Adams to discuss one of the most fascinating and mysterious periods of time: the 5th Century in Britain.

With very little contemporary sources, the dark ages are a widely debated era, where fact is very hard to separate from myth. But over the next few episodes, we will be talking to multiple historians to help unravel some of those mysteries, and shed some light on what really happened in History's Most Puzzling Century.
