Today we’re going to cover the eventful years of 675 to 678, and our main characters will be…
King Wulfhere of Mercia, Son of Penda and tough guy with a bloodied lip.
King Ecgfrith of Northumbria, Son of Oswiu and guy who bloodied Wulfhere’s lip.
And Bishop Wilfrid… the Northumbrian Bishop who was a key player in converting Northumbria to Roman Catholicism and also a key player in keeping King Ecgfrith childless. A remarkably stupid move for someone who was reported to be intelligent.
Whats that, audible.com?
Never heard of it actually :)
They sell audio books, and sponsor some podcasts (e.g. Hard Core History).
Until this podcast I had no idea that there was so much information about the early Anglo-Saxon period. I am so very grateful for this instead of another exposition about Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
