Really enjoyed this podcast as well as learned so much. Educated in the 70s/80s my knowledge of English/British history has been Tudor, Victorian and WW2. Listening from the beginning I now have a far better understanding of my own history and in a wider context. Also Charlie is a very entertaining voice.
Cnut’s sister, Estrid, did not marry Robert of Normandy and was not the mother of William the Conqueror. Estrid married Ulf Jarl and was mother of the danish king Sven Estridssen. Ulf had a sister Gytha, married to Earl Godwin and thus mother of the last anglosaxon king, Harold Godwinson.
Love the pod, nothing better for an autumn run.

I have never felt so connected to actual history of the time when I passed out in the Colosseum because of heat, exhaustion, saw a ghost... more
