As I'm sure many of you have noticed the release times for these have been varying over the weeks. This is just so I can see when is the best time to do so. This is the last week it will happen and I imagine that all future episode will be out on Saturdays from now on. The text generators have been a pain recently so if any of the text is off let me know. Also, the next episode is the Norman Conquest so no more Anglo-Saxons.

The conventional wisdom is that Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the best days to post (particularly Friday and Saturday), and that you should post between 2 and 4 PM according to the timezone of your biggest-viewing nation (likely to be either the US or UK) on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, or slightly earlier for Thursday and Friday, or between 9 and 11 AM on the weekend. Obviously, this might not be quite true for you, since your audience is likely to be somewhat older than the general KZread population and so may have somewhat different viewing habits.

In the poem "The Battle of Maldon", it's recounted how Bryhtnoth gave up a superior position by allowing the Vikings to cross to the mainland and giving them all the room they needed to have their battle, rather than keeping them bottled up on the island and daring them to come across the causeway whenever they felt like dying. This didn't turn out well for Bryhtnoth.

I guess it has been said dozens of times before, but just to be that guy: Harold Bluetooth is actually the inspiration of modern-day Bluetooth, the idea being that Bluetooth is supposed to be connecting all types of devices just like Harold Bluetooth connected all of Scandinavia. Therefore the Bluetooth logo is the rune that basically depicts Harold's initials.

Adding on a tiny piece of information. Canute's name was actually 'Knud' with a hard, clear K as well as the D at the end, a name not common but still used in Denmark and Scandinavia today. It only has 1 syllable but to ease pronunciation in Saxon English, it was prolonged into 2. "Ca-nut", but likely with the 'newt' ending being a more modern way to pronounce it.

A comment about Æthelred the Unready's name. Given that "red" in this case means "counsel", that is similar to Norwegian "råd". The Norwegian word for "councilor" is "rådmann". So his name in Norwegian would have been "Edelråd den Urådde". So Old English and current Norwegian isn't that different.

The close relationship with England and the Norman's won't be an issue in the future I'm sure. 😉😉😉

Denmark didn't raid England. Other norse and some unemployed danes did. Denmark was paid to protect england, and did so when paid, but the payments frequently stopped, which meant firing the mercenaries and stopping the protecting. Which meant the raids resumed, sometimes including the now unemployed mercenaries.

Of course harald bluetooth would be known for his connection to brittain...remotely.

It seems that all the problems that these rulers faced were the result of how divide the land among the nobility and church in order to secure power for the kings. Am I wrong?

Well, there's also the small matter of the Danish stopping by repeatedly to extort ridiculous amounts of money. :D But in the end, that's how medieval rule works: As king, you have to manage the loyalty of your lords (with the church among them), and granting them land and titles (and un-granting them) is the major way to do that.

Edmond of Wessex was a fantastic leader, shame he was betrayed by Mercia because he probably could of won. Wasn’t he possibly assassinated? Poisoned I believe

Anyone remember Civilization? When your Civilization Score was super low, your leader's name was appended with a title, usually one that wasn't complimentary..."The Unready."

Oh boy, I can't wait for the Norman Conquest.
