RASING FUNDS FOR THE BRADING NEW TOWN HALL COMMUNITY PERFORMING ARTS INITIATIVERight here, where we live, a kingdom once stood.
This live talk uncovers the lost history of the Isle of Wight’s early rulers — from the shadowy figure of Wihtga to the final days of King Arwald.
We will explore the Island’s Jutish kings, the settlements and strongholds they ruled, and the wider world they were part of; a time of shifting power, belief, and identity across early Britain.
The story builds to the dramatic and violent conquest of the Island by Cædwalla of Wessex, and the fate of Arwald: not only the last King of the Isle of Wight, but widely believed to be the last pagan king in Britain!
