430 – Is It Good To Be King?

We’ve been spending a lot of time with England lately… and there’s a good reason for that. England was the main target of the Norman invasion, and everything changed for the Kingdom when William arrived. Furthermore, the nature of our surviving sources is that they were more likely to survive if they were Norman sources. I was able to give detail on the conquest and the many rebellions against it because I finally had some details to give.

429 – Power Brokers and Power Breakers

Ok, elephant in the room… I accidentally misspoke last episode. The episode was set in the end of 1071, and as such Earl Waltheof was NOT the only English Earl in England. Earl Gospatric of Northumbria was actually still around, which is surprising since he was a potential claimant to the throne and a former rebel… and William didn’t tend to like those.

To the North, in Scotland, reigned King Malcolm Canmore.  We have been following his story for a long time now, and for good reason. After all, it literally intersects with the infamousMacbeth…  But King Malcolm Canmore was and remains one of the most powerful, and longest reigning, Scottish Kings to date.

#books Project Hail Mary is the first book in a long while that has pulled me in for a reread within 10 or so books. I know it's so similar to The Martian, and the main character is samey... but it's such a fun read to me nonetheless.

@futzle Pro tip: Watch "Love Actually" first.

You get to watch Alan Rickman pay for what he did to Emma Thompson. Merry Christmas!
