Published 2024-06-27
note: Although Edith the fair wasn't a queen and missed out on the position, her tale was simply too amazing to not include in the compilation video.

  • I love your content and telling of the history. One suggestion, put the compilation in chronological order. It would be easier to follow , especially with some of the names so unusual for some of us. Thanks! ❤
  • It is horrible to think about the sacrifices people made to build these cathedrals just for the narcissist Henry VIII to destroy them.
  • The content is very detailed and easy to understand. Extremely helpful for beginners like me!
  • Tut! You forgot to mention that Edmund Ironside died on a booby-trapped lavvy! But when Cnut was given the head of Edmund and discovered how it was obtained, he angrily told the-probably nifty assassin, 'For this I shall honour you above all other men!' He had him tortured to death and his head impaled on a spear that was mounted on a church tower!
  • I love imagining the moments By God what a powerful imagination of the realms I’ve been given
