The ENTIRE History of the SAXONS – Farmers, Warriors, Kings | History For Sleep

Описание: #HistoryForSleep #Saxons #SleepHistory

The ENTIRE History of the SAXONS begins where sea-mist meets marsh and oars whisper across a grey horizon. In this three-hour Sleep History journey, follow farmers who became warriors, pagans who became believers, and wanderers who became the keepers of a kingdom.

From wattle-and-daub homes around a common hearth to ox-drawn ploughs and barley bread; from fireside tales of Woden and Thunor to church bells on the shore; from boat burials and silver pennies to Offa’s earthwork and the storm of the Northmen — this story blends archaeology and legend with calm narration. Perfect for bedtime listening, gentle learning, or anyone curious how scattered shorelands became the seed of England.

This story blends history with creative narration to help you relax. It’s not intended as a scholarly or factual source, but rather as a calming, creative narrative. While it draws on history, please enjoy it simply as a piece of gentle storytelling — and if you enjoyed it, feel free to share it with someone who might need a little relaxation tonight. ✨
