Michael David Wood (born 23 July 1948) is an English historian and broadcaster. He has presented numerous television documentary series.

Wood was born in Moston, Manchester, and was educated at Manchester Grammar School and at Oriel College, Oxford. His special interest was Anglo-Saxon history. In the 1970s Wood worked for the BBC in Manchester. He was first a reporter, then an assistant producer on current affairs programmes, before returning to his love of history with his 1981 series &lt;i&gt;In Search of the Dark Ages&lt;/i&gt; for BBC2. This explored the lives of leaders of the period, including Boadicea, King Arthur, Offa, Alfred the Great, Athelstan, Eric Bloodaxe and William the Conquerer (and gave rise to his first book, based upon the series).]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Manchester</hometown>  <born_at>07/23/1948</born_at>
