From Thralls to Hanoverian Princes: Slavery in Early Britain and the George Dynastic Era

This episode examines how slavery shaped Anglo‑Saxon and Viking societies before turning to the late eighteenth century, exploring how a succession of George monarchs – I, II, III, and IV – redefined monarchy, Parliament, and imperial policy. We investigate legal codices, raiding networks, and domestic slave life alongside the political evolution from absentee rulers to the first prime‑ministerial system. Learn more about your ad choices.
