Every great father deserves an amazing daughter like Æthalflæd of Mercia. I bet Alfred would have been so proud of her if he lived to see her accomplishments, as she and her brother worked hard to build upon his legacy.

The mere scraps of historical records from sub Roman Britannia to 1066 is so disappointing - because it appears to have been an amazing period. Yet the Doomsday Book (immediately after the Conquest) indicates that there was a deep understanding of detailed record keeping amongst whatever passed for the “Civil Service”. What happened to those Anglo Saxon records? Did the new Anglo Norman speaking rulers simply destroy them because they were written in (to them) unintelligible OId English? I often wonder if buried in a tomb somewhere there is a trove of Old English manuscripts just waiting to be discovered … but I know I’m probably only dreaming.

This was great but why did it not include Emma of Normandy?

13:00 your map shows Wales and Cornwall as Welsh lands (in red). It seems you've forgotten the Cornish people? A linguistically and culturally separate group, although also Celtic.

Jesse will. I think she probably had an abscess that burst. Its just frustrating that i only see her once every second night, in the shed or on my red bin, and she's completely black so i can see, AND she's always moving. Well thats good about the op, though it is frustrating that the wait is so long. I need to remember to make a gynecologist as it's been a year since my period. Hopefully one is available while I'm on leave xx

What is it with Alfred and marshes…

Well, I have watched the entire video and I cannot find what is scandalous and shocking. Maybe the title is misleading…. 🤨

You hear about things like Helen of Troy and of love that makes one lose their mind, but I never saw an actual historical account of it until now. The guy who “stole” the king’s woman and married her himself had a pair on him. 😮
