CORRECTION: I apologize for the confusion in this episode pertaining to Archbishop Stigand. I was on a roll and inserted the term "simony" for "plurality." To be clear: Archbishop Stigand was guilty of pluralism due to his simultaneous holding of both Canterbury and Winchester. Today, we build some context for the next episode focusing on the shifting winds from 1070 to 1075.

Today, the second part in the tale of an outlaw, one created in the wake of William’s disastrous policies in England. This one culminates in the sack of a major abbey in East Anglia, equating to a serious threat to William’s rule there and a shout across the kingdom that rebellion was still alive and well among the English.

We’re taking a look at “circa 1070 Scotland” and how it informs the overall narrative of William’s conquest of England, including Malcolm’s inexpressibly important marriage to Margaret of the House of Alfred, Edgar Aethling’s own sister, who would one day be canonized as St. Margaret.

2022/12/22

I won’t pretend that I even came close to a definitive answer to my lingering questions regarding William’s actions in the North during the winter of 1069 - 1070, but these are my thoughts and how I tried to work some of it all out, trying to come to terms with how such a thing could have happened in the first place. I hope I did the general discourse on the subject at least a little justice, however, admittedly, this is hardly a conclusion on the matter. Maybe one day we’ll have a better
