197 – The Sons of Ragnar Lodbrok (versus Battle-Cattle)

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/03/26

We’re at a massive turning point for Britain. The Great Heathen Army is arriving on the Northern shores. I have been racking my brain for weeks trying to figure out how best to tell you this story deal with the Great Heathen Army, because it has all the elements that make a story nearly impossible […] The post 197 – The Sons of Ragnar Lodbrok (versus Battle-Cattle) first appeared on The British History Podcast.

196 – Vikings and Mercs and Franks. Oh My!

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/03/16

When we left off last week we spoke about King AEthelberht’s ascension to the throne of Wessex in 860 and how, despite the insistence of the Chroniclers that his rule was marked by peace and tranquility, on that same year we had records of a Viking raid that struck the heart of the Kingdom of […] The post 196 – Vikings and Mercs and Franks.

195 – Red Sea Rising

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/03/07

Today’s episode will focus upon the goings on in Britain for King AEthelberht, AEthelred, and Alfred. We will also cover what has been happening up in Northumbria… and predictably, it involves a lot of civil war. We will also have a quick discussion about stats, because why not?

193 – Alfred the Young Part Two

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/02/21

When we left off last week we were talking about Alfred’s upbringing and how he was a proficient hunter from a young age, and how he honed those skills throughout the rest of his life. But also how he lamented the fact that he was illiterate until he was twelve years old. Something which he […] The post 193 – Alfred the Young Part Two first appeared on The British History Podcast.

192 – Alfred the Young

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/02/13

We’ve discussed Anglo Saxon propaganda, and what goes down in Anglo Saxon cities, now let’s get back to the main story. When last we checked in with the House of Wessex, King AEthelwulf had died, but thanks to his incredible fecundity he had a wealth of potential heirs. And the kingdom of Wessex, it was […] The post 192 – Alfred the Young first appeared on The British History Podcast.

191 – Urban Fervor

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/02/06

You might not realize it, but we on the precipice of a major change in Britain. Alfred the Great is about to reach adulthood and enter the scene. The era of Danelaw is coming. Things are about to come to a head. But if I’m being honest, we’ve been seeing pretty big changes happening for […] The post 191 – Urban Fervor first appeared on The British History Podcast.

190 – House (of Wessex): Everybody Lies

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/01/29

This episode is going to be a bit different from most, because I’m going to be addressing something which has been bugging me about the 800s, and Wessex in particular. I feel like I haven’t done a good job pointing something out. So I’m going to explain something crucial about the house of Wessex and […] The post 190 – House (of Wessex): Everybody Lies first appeared on The British History Podcast.

189 – What on earth is an English

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/01/16

This episode is going to be a little different from most episodes. We’re going to break from the main story briefly and talk in larger terms about what is going on in Eastern Britain, because I realized that my slavish attention to the main storyline has probably allowed you to miss something truly astounding. And […] The post 189 – What on earth is an English first appeared on The British History Podcast.

188 – Rebellion and Succession in the Kingdom of Wessex

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/01/08

Before we begin, I’d like to address something from our last episode. I told you about reports of Vikingr armies marching around the countryside near the Wrekin. I offered a variety of methods of reaching the Wrekin, all of which would have involved quite a bit of work. However, as some of you have noted […] The post 188 – Rebellion and Succession in the Kingdom of Wessex first appeared on The British History Podcast.

187 – The Queen of Wessex: aka The Worst Midlife...

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2016/01/02

It’s Christmas day 854. King AEthelweard of East Anglia, a king who we know almost nothing about, is dead. The only evidence we really have that he was alive in the first place are his coins, and this is likely due to the fact that, throughout the Viking Age, succeeding bands of Scandinavian pyromaniacs destroyed […] The post 187 – The Queen of Wessex: aka The Worst Midlife Crisis Ever first appeared on The British History Podcast.

186 – Wessex: A story of Myth building, Opportunism,...

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2015/12/19

This episode is getting a bit into the political weeds and it’s for a very important reason. We’re seeing the development of that dynastic juggernaut we all know and love, the House of Wessex, and I want you to see how and why it’s forming into what it will eventually become. Because the successes of […] The post 186 – Wessex: A story of Myth building, Opportunism, and Annexation first appeared on The British History Podcast.

185 – Building the House of Wessex

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2015/12/11

When we left off last time, we were taking a look at the problem facing Europe that no one wanted to talk about. And this wasn’t like plague of people mistaking tights for pants. In that situation, the only solution is to ignore it until it retreats back to the darkest recesses of fashion.

184 – The Chaos of Bad Governance

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2015/12/03

When we left off last time we discussed the viking raids of Paris and Hamburg… though they were far more than the raids we’d seen in the last 40-50 years. Now we’re looking at fleets that number in the hundreds and we’re seeing the nobility on the continent, especially the Frankish nobility, hiring many of […] The post 184 – The Chaos of Bad Governance first appeared on The British History Podcast.

183 – Ragnar’s Siege of Paris

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2015/11/22

This is a big event for Medieval Western Europe, and it doesn’t come out of nowhere. The surge of Northmen, and in particular the Danish attacks against Frankia, had a starting point. This wasn’t a simple matter of pagans picking a random point on the map and charging… the Vikingrs may have been motivated largely […] The post 183 – Ragnar’s Siege of Paris first appeared on The British History Podcast.
