Explore the true story of Britain, which begins not with kings and castles, but in the chaos of a collapsed world. This is the history of the Dark Ages, a time when Roman Britannia shattered and the nation of Wales was forged in fire, myth, and the ruins of an empire.
How did a unified, civilized province dissolve into a land of warring kingdoms? This documentary dives into the Great Break—the mysterious and violent period after Rome’s legions left Britain. We journey through two competing versions of the past: the glorious epics of giant-slayers and dream-emperors found in the Mabinogion, and the brutal reality unearthed by archaeologists.
Uncover the secrets of windswept settlements like Gate Holm, which clung to the wreckage of a globalized world. Witness the death of a Roman city at Caerwent, and confront the profound mystery of Dinas Powys: a muddy, remote hillfort overflowing with the treasures of international trade. Was its enigmatic ruler a sophisticated new prince... or a glorified gangster feasting on the spoils of a fallen world?
From the mythical giants of London to the Welsh origins of Tolkien’s Elvish, discover how the ghosts of this lost age still haunt our world today. This is the story of how a civilization ends—and how a new one begins.

A Personal Note from Pete Kelly:
This series is the culmination of five years of research, writing, and walking these ancient landscapes. In an era of AI-generated slop, this is the opposite: a story crafted by a human hand. If this kind of deep history means something to you, you can follow my work more personally here:
