241 – Haesten

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/04/27

What was Alfred’s reaction to the news of a massive viking fleet crossing the channel? Was it a surprise? Did he just expect it at this point? Was he angry that he would have to fight for his kingdom yet one more time? Based on his apparent devotion to his religion, I imagine he wondered […] The post 241 – Haesten first appeared on The British History Podcast.

240 – Viking Roadshow: Rollo edition

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/04/21

A massive fleet was off the coast of Kent, heading directly for Alfred’s realm. It was a fleet of 250 ships teeming with skilled, highly experienced raiders. But fleets don’t materialize out of thin air. They come from somewhere… And curiously, over the last 14 years, the scribes of the Anglo Saxon Chronicle were actually […] The post 240 – Viking Roadshow: Rollo edition first appeared on The British History Podcast.

239 – The Dying Time

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/04/13

Today we’re going to cover 5 or 6 years, and we’re going to cover a fascinating theory that (if true) should color virtually everything we know about the life of Alfred the Great… and that’s because the Life of Alfred the Great might not have been written for Alfred. But I’m getting ahead of myself. […] The post 239 – The Dying Time first appeared on The British History Podcast.

238 – A Patchwork of War

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/03/31

The Sons of Rhodri Mawr were in a difficult position. Their father had been a powerful ruler in Britain… he was a man who had gained vast swaths of territory for his dynasty and was one of the few kings in British history that could claim the title of “the great.” Now when he died, […] The post 238 – A Patchwork of War first appeared on The British History Podcast.

2017/03/25

The Sons of Rhodri, rulers of vast swaths of Wales, have followed in their father’s footsteps in their quest to bring all of the Western Kingdoms under a command of a single dynasty. Their dynasty. In aid of this, they sought common cause with the Danes of Jorvik and their new King… a man called […] The post 237 – Asser first appeared on The British History Podcast.

236 – A Return to Scholarship

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/03/17

“I can not find anything better in man, than that he know, and nothing worse than that he be ignorant.” That’s a quote from Alfred, and I think it’s my favorite quote. The nice thing about Alfred is that he’s a man for all seasons. There’s something in his reign for everyone. He’s got an […] The post 236 – A Return to Scholarship first appeared on The British History Podcast.

235 – Alfred’s Educational Reforms

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/03/10

One of the interesting things about piecing together the life of Alfred is that we find little windows into who he was in the strangest of places. Most kings of this era didn’t write much down for us to read… but Alfred did. In fact, he translated entire books (which we’re going to talk about […] The post 235 – Alfred’s Educational Reforms first appeared on The British History Podcast.

234 – The Sons of Rhodri and AEthelred’s Beautiful Hair

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/03/03

This episode has been difficult to write. In fact, the last several have been difficult, and it all comes down to issues of time. Not space time flexing due to gravitational pull, and issues of whether a minute for Alfred in Wessex was the same as a minute for someone climbing the alps. Just good […] The post 234 – The Sons of Rhodri and AEthelred’s Beautiful Hair first appeared on The British History Podcast.

233 – Alfred’s Powerplay and the Restructuring of Wessex

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/02/25

While all of the political wrangling was occurring in Tamworth, Guthrum-AEthelstan was relocating to East Anglia, and he was bringing serious changes with him. Culture isn’t something that you can easily uproot in a person – it goes deep. Sure, Guthrum had spent 12 days feasting like and Anglo Saxon, and even gave that one […] The post 233 – Alfred’s Powerplay and the Restructuring of Wessex first appeared on The British History Podcast.

230 – Guthrum Gets a Bath

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2017/02/03

For Alfred, everything had changed at Chippenham. It was at Chippenham where he had lost his crown and his kingdom… it’s also possible that he was the victim of a coup, considering how Guthrum’s conquest had gone virtually unchallenged. Chippenham was a place of great shame for the House of Wessex. That is, until now. […] The post 230 – Guthrum Gets a Bath first appeared on The British History Podcast.

In spite of everything standing against them, Alfred and AEthelnoth are bringing the war directly to Guthrum on a daily basis. We know this thanks to Asser and the Chronicle, but both sources neglect to tell us exactly HOW the rebel army was bringing the war to Guthrum.
