Penda the king killer, he probably having Welsh family connections. A wily and cunning commander and leader of men, along with the Welsh king Cadwallon himself a fearsome warrior burning with revenge of his people against the English, they made a deadly combination. Penda's retinue was a strange gathering of various warriors, both Christian and pagan, Welsh, Mercians, mercenaries from Wessex, and probably cavalrymen from Strathclyde seeing an opportunity to reduce Northumbria's sway over them. I do believe the Staffordshire hoard is Penda's plunder from the Northumbrians, possibly from one of their kings who Penda slew.

Definitely was a formidable force. Should be more recognition of him really considering how much he devastated the neighbouring kingdoms and legacy.

Why do they need to murder all the people and even animals??!

If you could slow down your speech speed a little, that would be great! You might get more views, as remember that English is some people’s second language, and they can’t watch the videos where they talk fast, but the slower ones, they can, and do.

I recommend a none-fiction book by Peter Rex called "Hereward." Rex has written many books about this time period. Also James Wilde has written several books about Hereward. I'm reading one, and have three more to read. Victor Head wrote 'HEREWARD", which is illustrated, and none-fiction. David Churchill wrote his William the Conqueror novels. I believe there are three in the series. I'm reading Churchill's "The Leopards of Normandy:Duke". There's also a pamphlet I bought on Anglo Saxons, I forgot the author, but he also has a range of short books. Cambridge University are doing a one year certificate on Medieval studies. It's all on Internet. It's £3,000. Oxford are offering a one week summer residential for £1,750. BBC has a History Magazine. If you want to see The Staffordshire Hoard, it is currently on display The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent. If you want to see artefacts from Sutton Hoo, go to the British Museum in London. It's free. The British Library has documents on Hereward.
