I read about this battle in 'Egil,s Saga' which is one of the Icelandic Sagas.

It gives a decent account although King Olaf is misidentified as the King of Scotland.

Isn't there a bit missing? There were more Viking invasions after 939 quite a bit before Aethelred the Unready which are not mentioned. There were Viking kings in York until the death of the last, Eric Bloodaxe, in 954 AD. Lucky Aethelstan's successors got rid of them by the time of King Edgar the Peaceful (Aethelred's father).

When will there be a new episode of War of the Spanish Succession? Waiting eagerly

The high ground at the top of Storeton Hill overlooks the M53, Clatterbridge, Mount Road, Brackenwood & Red Hill Road, Thousands of artifacts have already been discovered, note 'War Lord' by Bernard Cornwell.

Ooooooh ... I’m from the Wirral 🙌🏽 not often we get some recognition

Brunanburgh is for me the single most consequential battle in history given its cementing of national identity through unifying different peoples and faiths under its structure. This extends to Scots/Irish/Welsh who fought in both sides that day, as well as Danes who did the same. It was a choice between one world and a better one. The stability provided the base that the Romans first saw and built over, which had fallen away, which formed the state that William I saw had to be seized and then expanded upon. By extension, this fed into all aspects of life and form the basis of everything today via the empire, through principles of law and commerce everywhere.

We still await to see new episodes of Hannibal and Basil II the Bulgar Slayer. At least complete them and then continue with new projects.

is there a reason why there is absolutely no continuity with regards to era and date when these are made? Why this jumping around from century to century rather than a clear narrative?

Is the Masteworks CD not a scam?

I grew up In Bromborough and this battle field has never been found, some historians don't believe the battle took place on the Wirral, whoever finds this battle field will go down in the history books!

It is and isn't. If we just look at what followed it then yes it is tremendously significant. I think though that the rough borders of the countries on this island were pretty inevitable. A nation like England would always have been formed and achieved domination over its immediate neighbours. Consider the geography of our island. England is basically 95% of the good farming land with most of the navigable rivers and good tradeports - it was always going to be the area that supported the densest population, with the power and wealth that comes with it. Whilst the areas of land of that make up Wales and Scotland were comparatively poorer, less desirable as farm land and further from continental trade partners; combined with terrain that made them more defensible and harder for a more distant ruler (one based in the wealthier regions of the Isle) to hold without significant expense.
