I was listening so intently to the speaker that I never noticed the music. It is the difference between hearing and listening.
-
The greatest plot twist in history is that Harold Godwinson was actually the good guy
-
Ugh, whoever edited this did a terrible job. I can hardly hear the speaker over the music.

It breaks my heart, the dissolution of the monasteries. š©. Not because of religion, but destroying those beautiful buildings. Those were old even in Henry Tudorsā age. And then his sonsā reign, if you can call it that, finished them off, putting the icing on the cake, destroying wonderful old stained glass windows, roods. So sad. But it still happens today. The new trying to obliterate the old, they donāt care how old it is.š¢

Tony Robinson - always excellent! But why is the music allowed to drown his voice?

The last Anglo-Saxon king of England was Edgar Aetheling, grandson of King Edmund Ironside, who was elected by the Witenagemot after Harold's death. He ruled from Oct. 15, 1066 - Dec. 17, 1066.

There definitely should be a monument to Harold. A big stonking monument.
-
Idiots who call Harold an oath-breaker don't realize he took the oath under duress. He was William's captive and had no other choice.

fire that sound engineer!

The background music is way too loud.

I enjoy these videos but agree, background music is too loud in places.

This is what happens when you have a government of men instead of government of laws.

The music was so loud on this video that I couldnāt hear the commentator

Interesting vid. Music's too loud, distracting from the narrator. Locations make this a great watch!

Found out the other day that a lot of leading Anglo-Saxons had been displaced by the earlier invasion of Canute and his Scandinavians -one family had to take refuge in Byzantium and Hungary and eventually returned when Anglo-saxons got back in power -Edward Atheling or someone like that.

āWho will get your kingdom?ā Alexander: āThe strongest!ā Edward: ālol I dunno, that guy I guess?ā

Fun Fact: Harold was also the last Orthodox King of England. Did you know Alfred the Great is recognized in Holy Orthodoxy as a Saint? Along with Patrick, Fergus, Columba, Briget and all the other Anglo-Saxon and Celtic Saints. Never, ever let anyone tell you that in order to be Orthodox you must be Eastern. The West was fully Orthodox for a thousand years and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies. Saint John Maximovich The Wonderworker, Archbishop of Shanghai and SanFrancisco.
