The Godwinsons are back in England. Harold’s sons, along with a fleet of 64 Irish ships loaded down with fighters, have just hit the shores.

They appeared as if from nowhere. A great force of men and horses… armed to the teeth… charging towards the city of York. Where the fuck did this army come from? And who was that in the back?

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2023/01/20

Earl Robert lay dead at Durham. Along with 700 of his men. At least. The Chronicle bumps the numbers up a bit, claiming Earl Robert had died 900 of his soldiers at Durham. Either way, that’s a lot of dead Normans. The post 409 – The First Sparks first appeared on The British History Podcast.

407 – Robbing the Hood

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2023/01/06

I feel for the English commoners in the late 1060’s. They had nothing to do with the arrival of the Normans… everything they suffered was the result of the actions of the nobles. Exclusively. The post 407 – Robbing the Hood first appeared on The British History Podcast.

405 – Hereward the Wake: The Bourne Identity

Podcast Episodes | The British History Podcast ·

2022/11/17

Here is the beginning of Hereward the Wake. And to tell this story, we have to begin with the legend, because nothing in this story is straightforward. Probably because at least some of it is true. The post 405 – Hereward the Wake: The Bourne Identity first appeared on The British History Podcast.
