The Last Kingdom on Netflix is now in its fourth season and remains a pretty popular offering. But the life of the people it depicts is, well, “nasty, brutish and short.” Clearly, a lot has changed in the 1,100-plus years between the setting of the show and today.

But in the thousand years BEFORE the action of the show, very little had changed. So what made the difference?

Here’s how it happened.
