We conclude our narrative of Æthelred’s reign with his final catastrophic decade. Next time we will take a look at the reign as a whole and consider whether Æthelred’s reputation is warranted.

As I work on the rest of the Æthelred overview, I wanted to highlight one of the major events and poems of the period: The Battle of Maldon.

The host does a lot of research & presents it in a very professional & well-laid out way. Great job!
Great content and the podcast here and there are just the right length.
I initially found the podcast on YouTube.
Thorough and enjoyable! I especially enjoyed the host's interview with an expert on Cornish history -- something I knew little about.
At about 1/4 of the way through the podcast to date, what stands out is the thoroughness and the effort to be “scholarly rigorous” without descending into just a list of names and dates. There are enormous gaps in the historical record of the Anglo-Saxon period, and this podcasts does a very good job of sticking to the facts and a reasonable interpretation of the facts while avoiding the temptation to fill in the gaps with speculation.
Great history, however, ads break up the flow so often I have given up listening to this podcast. Plus, they are much louder than the podcast itself. Don’t wear EarPods! I give 5 stars for the content, subtract 3 stars for the ads.
