Medieval Wales and Britain in general is my thing (obviously!), and since I can’t get enough, I kind of assume everyone around me can’t either 🙂 Thus, I’ve started a series of videos about the history of Britain.
The videos will be put up weekly. This week we have Making Sense of Medieval Britain, where I explain about the various peoples who lived in/conquered/migrated to Britain during the medieval period in six minutes. With graphics!

Thank you so much, Sarah, for all of this wealth of information. I guess you could call me a history freak. I just can get enough of it. I am also a Genealogist. The historical background you give lays a foundation for a rich background in which to understand the people who lived in these times.
Thank you again.
You are so welcome! I’m glad you have enjoyed the videos and they’ve been useful 🙂
Thanks for pointing out that the Catholic Church started out as catholic with a lower case “c”. Since this was the beginning of the Christian religion, they were called the “catholic” – as its first meaning of universal – – the universal church.
Again, thanks, Sarah and Dan for these videos, it makes me feel I’ve had a little visit along a history professor!
Aw, thank you!
I live in Chile, and medieval history is plainly outside my experience . And I just love it!!
Castles were only mentioned at school, I never could imagine a real one…
But only one thing would make these trips perfect… you see I can read and write English, but I am not able to follow the spoken language. Would it be possible to append some written explanation in all these so interesting trips?
Hi! I completely understand what you’re saying, and seasons two and three I tried to remedy that. If you click on the links, many have the video and then the text below. Here’s the complete list of videos. Some go straight to youtube, but many have the video with the text as a blog on my website. https://www.sarahwoodbury.com/making-sense-of-medieval-britain-videos/
Hope that helps!
Hi,
I was wondering where your previous videos can be found.
Hi! Any published videos can be found on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SarahWoodburyBooks/videos
I’m huge new fan. Making sense of Britain help me sort it all out in my head. Your books and you tube visits inspire me to keep going after the recent loss of my son. You take me to a magical place which I pray one day I can see for myself. I am 10 books down, watched all your videos and am working my way through every one of them. In the meantime keep them coming as they keep me going. Thankyou
Oh I’m so glad you wrote me, and I’m so sorry about the loss of your son. I am grateful to hear that my books can in any way be of help. All the best to you … Sarah
I have read all your books and now .my Husband is working on them.
Love them
I’m so glad to hear that!
I love all your informative videos as I’ll never see them myself. Thank you for these and I LOVE all your books.
Oh I’m so glad! Thank you for telling me!
Thanks for an informative mini-lesson about the peoples and religions of Wales (and, you know, the rest of GB, LOL.) I’m passing this on to my Viking-loving husband and son as well.
