Whether through tapestry or print, preserving our ancient stories is vital to understanding our history.

Taken from ‘Unearthed’ by @nick.bateman9296 this poem was discovered in the fluttering charred remains from a collection of manuscripts in Ashburnham House, London. Following a disastrous fire, the burnt remains were being played with by a collection of schoolboys, when the verses of this ancient poem were found.

It depicts another famous English last stand, just 70 years before the battle of Hastings featured in #TheBayeuxTapestry. We now know the epic to be called the ‘Battle of Maldon’. As it is now the poem is missing its beginning and end. The surviving 325 lines commemorate the heroic but ultimately doomed defense put up by an English militia, led by Byrhtnoth, against a marauding Viking force which has landed on a small island in the Blackwater Estuary in Essex.

Do you have a favourite ancient poem?

‘Unearthed’ is available to pre-order online via our website or from all good bookshops.
