    Edgar Aethling

    Is Edgar the Forrest Gump of Early Medieval England? Enjoy this special episode about a man who was never King but who might be one of the most underrated figures in early British history.  Thank you for your patience while we took a week off for summer vacation!

    Harold Godwinson

    Son of Godwin but seemingly did not win God’s favor. Harald was a brilliant fighter and tactician and juggled enemies, and former friends, coming from the East and the South. If the Channel hadn’t been so stormy, would England have remained in Anglo hands? No man can say.

    Edward the Confessor

    What crimes was he confessing to? One of England’s few Saint-Kings, Edward restores some stability to England, but can never seem to get out from under the thumb of the Godwin’s.

    Harthacnut

    He was one tough nut to crack, but we try our best. Harthacnut spent most of his time preoccupied with Scandinavia but he would be the final viking king of England and a guy who liked to party, maybe a bit too much…

    Harald Harefoot

    Fast as a hare and strong as a bear, Harald was one of the last Scandinavian kings of England. He is never officially coronated and blinds his relative but seems to have been a decent ruler otherwise! **reupload because the original file was cut-off**

    Cnut the Great

    A tough cnut to crack, Cnut was really the only Viking king to rule England for any significant amount of time. One of the most interesting kings of the entire era whose victories and decisions would ripple through history.

    Edmund Ironsides

    No, not the famous American warship, but Edmund was a great warrior. He was given a Kingdom in chaos and had the skills and willpower to right the ship, but could he do it?

    Sweyn Forkbeard

    Don’t call him spoonbeard, Sweyn was the first and one of the only Scandinavian Kings of England. While his reign was a mere 5 weeks, he led an interesting life that involved becoming King of Denmark and Norway and being the son of the namesake of Bluetooth.
