Rediscovering Medieval Winchester: England's early capital city
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2019
- Winchester. Once a Roman market town, this city became a site of importance in early medieval England. In the ninth century, Alfred the Great would establish it as his principal city in the kingdom of Wessex, and from that point onwards it developed into a key site for religious, royal and economic activity; the three core components of the early medieval capital city.
But how much of this history is still visible today? How is Winchester’s early medieval importance understood to the modern mind? A closer look of what remains here in Winchester today will allow us to understand the prominence of the city in the early medieval period, and also allow us to reflect on how early medieval Winchester is perceived today. We will be asking whether what remains reflects Winchester’s status as the early medieval capital city.
Our documentary forms part of our second year history degree course at the University of Southampton.
Thanks are given to Winchester Cathedral, the Great Hall, Montezuma's, and the Baker Boys.

Well produced and very informative (I didn’t mind the music either). My congrats and thanks.
Very interesting ! Too bad the music( while nice) is very distracting. One or the other would be better. I had to mute it and read the caption. I can't wait to go back to Winchester and discover all that I haven't yet. Thank you!!
Great video , been too Winchester several times . Intend too go here for my sixtieth birthday next year (already booked ) , so much history in such a small place . Lovely place , really nice people . So many things too see , and lots of really old pubs too visit .
Thank you for your comment, we too think Winchester is a great city! We hope you enjoy its charms once more this year!
Excellent video by very talented contributors. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Hello. An interesting and informative video - and you clearly know and understand the Saxon/Medieval history of Winchester. As a ( retired ) Medieval Historian - Oxford, I have often visited in the past - mostly to spend some time in the Winchester Cathedral library, amongst it`s fine manuscript collection.
As others have commented on I see, the imbalance between the spoken commentary and the musical soundtrack marred what would have otherwise been a splendid effort - pity !!!
Nevertheless, well done - a good introduction to Winchesters important historical heritage - bravo :)
Where's that place @26:34 where you can get a view of the city? I have just moved here and love everything about it. Great video and very helpful. Well done!!!!
👏👏👏 Loved it! What an amazing place. Hope I can visit some day. 😊
V interesting, but why does the music swell to deafening between each section of commentary? Really spoils it.
Really wonderful video
Loving the video girls! The only thing i wished you’d talk about as well would be Alfred The Great’s ( and the kings before him) royal palace! I know that the writer of The Last Kingdom series states in his book that there’s evidence to proove that Alfred might’ve stayed in a old Roman Villa/Palace in the center of Winchester. This is supported by the the Roman city walls in stone that still stand today, and also many different records from books describing that Alfred’s estate matched those of stone-palaces on mainland southern europe. Considering most if not all stone-buildings the Anglo Saxons built were only churches at the time, it’s theorized that his palace must’ve been one the Romans left behind.
Very good!
brilliant video
Well done.
Lovely video, the girl in the scarf is great!
yeah she is great , so much information .
Could you take the music off please as it drowns out the talking 🙏
Anyone know the track that starts around 2:43. I’ve been looking for it for ages and it’s not any of the tracks listed in the description.
I think that is walking through part of The Cathedral grounds ..
@@hugoskucek I was enquiring as to the name of the music track not where they were in the video. I studied at Winchester so I know the area well.
Hello, great video and I’d like to visit there some time on weekend. Can we arrange a meeting so that I can explore more. I am planning on bringing my unit to Winchester visit. Please let me know if you’d be happy to meet. Thanks
Interesting, but be sure to slow down when you speak. Sometimes you did, and then you can tell how better it sounds.
The music, while nice, drowns out your voice.
Winchester has been found by Belgian Celts.
yes@FonkyHonky, Belgian Celts from what is now North France the coast of Flanders and a little bit below but before the Franks came to Belgium. Pre Celtic Period, second wave and a third wave. Those Belgian Celts are responsable for the P Celtic languages. Q Celtic languages came from Gaul. The West-Germanic Franks came from from the North-East of the Netherlands to Belgium for the rich and heavy farm lands and mixed with the Belgian Celts. There is 9 procent Belgian Celtic DNA in the old Belgian Celtic settlments in Britain and 40 procent in Flanders. In the south of Belgium lived Alpino Belgian Celts before the Romans came. Other kind of Belgian Celts.
@@bpinkhof I used to be a big follower of all things Celt! No more now! Once I learnt that God is truth and once I found the SSPX, there is no looking back.
Also, learning that all heathen/pagan/non Jewish nations/empires practice child sacrifice (today in this current anti-God age it is called abortion/woman's rights) and that only the Jews did not believe in child sacrifice, I learnt that the truth is God and that Our Blessed Lord is the Way, the Truth and the Life. All I can say here is that I hope you one day soon also learn this for the sake of your eternal soul. I am an unworthy sinner who repents of my sins and asks for God's mercy. Amen
@@elizabethdarley8646 Many important scientists such as Planck think that our universe has a consciousness. With equipment they may be able to make the waves of that consciousness visible to the human eye. Energy originated from a sphere of consciousness that was there before the big bang came into existence. Matter is cooled, coiled or compressed energy. According to the special theory of relativity, energy and matter do not disappear, but matter can become energy and vice versa in a closed system. Why then disappear consciousness. Gravitational waves can already be visualized. The consciousness of our universe that some call the matrix could be the Holy Spirit. God is outside our universe and can be the source of the consciousness of our universe.

Winchester is a Roman place not medieval
Medieval, when saxons were ruling.
