WARLORD OF BAMBURGH CASTLE
Thurs, March 6, at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET/PT
Scotty travels to the North Sea coast of England to ancient Bamburgh
Castle, where the body of a young man with a crushed skull has been
unearthed. The body dates to the 7th century A.D., a violent time when
the Christian king, Oswald, fought pagans for control of the country.
Was this young man a monk, killed in the countryside while spreading
Christianity? Or was he an aristocrat and warrior who died defending
the castle? And if he was a warrior, was he pagan or Christian?
