  • Athelstan special

    The word you are looking for is “crowned” not “coronated”, otherwise very good podcast, thoroughly researched and informative.

  • Excellent podcast. Tom is rightly cautious with the sources of the time and provides an excellent overview of current academic understanding of the period without being too dry. And he busts several myths along the way.
