The story starts in 871
From Alfred the Great to Richard II.
In 871, Alfred was a young prince, Viking armies were campaigning across Wessex and the future of England was uncertain. From that starting point, the app follows England through conquest, reform, dynastic struggle and social change to 1399—revealing how people, places and decisions connect across the medieval centuries.
