From our latest episode on Edith of Wilton, we cover her not so humble possessions and consider what you should spend your money on if you're a tenth-century princess-nun...
Listen in all the usual places or watch the full episode on YouTube youtu.be/DDdBygScud4
Our latest podcast sees us review Edith of Wilton, daughter of Edgar the Peaceable who MAY have been offered the throne but just loved being a nun too much.
You can watch the full episode on Spotify or YouTube (or listen to the podcast in all the usual places): youtu.be/o0_8IgytX8w
From our latest episode on Ælfweard and Edwin, we consider the practical challenges of how best to drown a rival prince...
You can watch our review of Ælfweard and Edwin (as well as all the other episodes in this series) on YouTube: youtu.be/o0_8IgytX8w
This week we review the brothers Ælfweard and Edwin, sons of Edward the Elder who both came unstuck in the reign of older brother Æthelstan? But were they murdered? Were they designated heirs? Find out in our latest podcast.
@GregMorgan124 There’s the usual points if they leave surviving legitimate children but no other variation - too difficult to keep track of whether descendants come back in at some point further down the line, and how much credit does the ancestor really warrant for that happening?
Series 4 begins! We kick off the Nearly Monarchs with Æthelwold, nephew to Alfred the Great, a rival to his cousin Edward the Elder, and a challenge for Ali when it comes to names...
@caspertopcat I’ve been researching him this very week!
Watch the whole episode on YouTube (or listen to the podcast in the normal way in the normal places!) youtu.be/-laTvhxiXAo
@emilyekmurdoch Thanks so much for coming on, was great chatting to you!
In our latest podcast we had a great chat with @emilyekmurdoch about her book Regina: The Queens Who Could Have Been - the women who would have ruled England if daughters instead of sons had been prioritised in the succession.
We are back! Series 4 is now underway, kicking off with an introductory episode explaining the concept of this series, our approach to scoring and what we think of counterfactual history (the 'what ifs').
This is what Ali looks like after recording five podcasts in a day! We’ve now started Series 4, but Ali might need some sleep before the next recording!
Our new episode reviewing Offa of Mercia can also be watched as well as listened to! Available on Spotify or YouTube to watch in full.
We are back in podcast land! Not yet starting series 4 but as a prelude we review King Offa of Mercia, the eighth-century monarch who built a famous Dyke, corresponded with Charlemagne and was almost the first King of England pod.fo/e/398d43
@kevinmartinryan Yes, I think we’ll do a little introductory episode for the series which will go through that.
New series, new notebook (though only one of them will be featured in the series). I’m in full research mode for Series 4 reviewing all the nearly monarchs of England & the UK. Planning a new “first” episode on Offa this month then recording first episodes of series 4 in March!
For more information on @DavidWoodman45 and his other work, check out his website: dwoodman.co.uk
New Episode Alert: We had a fantastic discussion with @DavidWoodman45 on his book The First King of England, looking at the importance of Athelstan in the formation of England as a nation. pod.fo/e/360983
