Description

In the year 1000, the world was one of mystery and magicians, monks, warriors, and wandering merchants—people who feared an apocalypse and had no idea what year it was or what lay beyond the nearest valley. It was a world of dark forests and Viking adventures, in which fear was real and death a constant companion.

People felt they walked hand-in-hand with God, and envisaged Him so literally that even Christians were sometimes buried with supplies for the journey to the new life in heaven. Narrated through the progression of the seasons, The Year 1000 presents a recreation of English life at the end of the first millennium AD.
