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 E

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.

Rushed onto the throne after the sudden assassination of his brother the King. The final son of Edward the Elder to rule the lands of the Anglo-Saxons.

King Edmund the Mundacious. In fact, he was quite honest and brave for someone you've never heard of! Listen in to hear more about the life of perhaps the least well-known of all the kings.

Listen in to learn about the great Æethelstan, perhaps the most underrated of all English kings? You decide.

Join us for a look into the life of Alfred the Great's son Edward, brother of Aethelflaed the Lady of Mercia and King of the Anglo-Saxons.

We discuss the only English king to have the title "The Great". Listen in to find out if you think he deserves the honor!
