Link to Video Link to PodcastHello Listeners. Join Paul and Calum on the next instalment of The Birth of The English Nation!This show features:Æthelstan or Athelstan (/ˈæθəlstæn/; Old English: Æþelstan[a] or Æðelstān;[b] Old Norse: Aðalsteinn meaning "noble stone"; c. 894 – 27 October 939) was King of the Anglo-Saxons from 924 to 927 and King of the English from 927 to 939 when he died.[c] He was the son of King Edward the Elder and his first wife, Ecgwynn. Modern historians regard him as the first King of England and one of the greatest Anglo-Saxon kings. He never married and had no children. He was succeeded by his half-brother, EdmundAlso Calum and Paul talk about the Battle of Brunanburh:The Battle of Brunanburh was fought in 937 between Æthelstan, King of England, and an alliance of Olaf Guthfrithson, King of Dublin; Constantine II, King of Scotland, and Owain, King of Strathclyde. The battle is often cited as the point of origin for English nationalism: historians such as Michael Livingston argue that "the men who fought and died on that field forged a political map of the future that remains [in modernity], arguably making the Battle of Brunanburh one of the most significant battles in the long history not just of England, but of the whole of the British Isles."[1]

Link to VideoLink to PodcastWelcome to Part 4 of 8 of the Birth of the English Nation History Series from Paul and Calum of Aspen Waite. This week Calum and Paul take an in-depth look at who Paul describes as possibly the 2nd most important woman in English History. Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians (c. 870 – 12 June 918) ruled Mercia in the English Midlands from 911 until her death. She was the eldest daughter of Alfred the Great, king of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex, and his wife Ealhswith.Æthelflæd was born around 870 at the height of the Viking invasions of England. By 878, most of England was under Danish Viking rule – East Anglia and Northumbria having been conquered, and Mercia partitioned between the English and the Vikings – but in that year Alfred won a crucial victory at the Battle of Edington. Soon afterwards the English-controlled western half of Mercia came under the rule of Æthelred, Lord of the Mercians, who accepted Alfred's overlordship. Alfred adopted the title King of the English, claiming to rule all English people not living in areas under Viking control. In the mid-880s, Alfred sealed the strategic alliance between the surviving English kingdoms by marrying Æthelflæd to Æthelred.

Link to VideoLink to PodcastHello listenersJoin the esteemed cuddly Viking and Son as we traverse the depths of History together. 450 AD to 1066 AD. And this week we have a special on King Alfred the Great!Great to hear Paul and Calum discussing one of the most famous characters in English History - one who played a key roll in establishing 'England'.Some info:Alfred the Great (Old English: Ælfrēd,[b] Ælfrǣd,[c] 'Elf-counsel' or 'Wise-elf'; between 847 and 849 – 26 October 899) was King of Wessex from 871 to c. 886 and King of the Anglo-Saxons from c. 886 to 899. He was the youngest son of King Æthelwulf of Wessex. His father died when he was young and three of Alfred's brothers, Æthelbald, Æthelberht and Æthelred, reigned in turn before him.After ascending the throne, Alfred spent several years fighting Viking invasions. He won a decisive victory in the Battle of Edington in 878 and made an agreement with the Vikings, creating what was known as the Danelaw in the North of England. Alfred also oversaw the conversion of Viking leader Guthrum to Christianity. He defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, becoming the dominant ruler in England.[1] Details of his life are described in a work by 9th-century Welsh scholar and bishop Asser.

Today's Song - XTC - Generals and MajorsLink to Live Stream Hello Listeners! Join Paul and Ben today for their Monday catch up on the antics of the weekend since the last live stream on Friday. There has been much criticism of the Government and we hear their take on this. The number of CV deaths over the weekend was extremely low, but why don't the media put a good news spin on anything? There is definitely great room for optimism!One could argue the government are devoid of strategy and plan to come out of lockdown. Will they convince us otherwise over the next few days and weeks? Is Boris making political decisions regarding Covid19 with a direct aim of not alienating the northern demographic of voters?“Neo Marxist behaviour from a government that should be acting in a democratic way.” As Paul put it. People and country are divided and we discuss in this episode points regarding furlough, unemployment, teachers, unions etc in their stance.We discuss the local protests at London that happened recently with people trying to protect their rights by going outside and the reaction from Police. Also the need to start back up with football for the mental health of the public, and real stories about hospitals and treatment to members of the public NOT relating to Covid19.Today's Song - XTC - Generals and MajorsLink to Live Stream

Was he real? He is said to be asleep beneath Glastonbury Tor! The angles, The East Saxons, The South Saxons and the Jutes. Cornwall, Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria. In Scotland, you had the Picks and in Wales, the Ancient Britains that to some extent preserved their identity throughout time. We also talk about the origin and development of the English Language as we know it today and the influence of Pagan Gods on our culture.

Hello Listeners. And a happy Monday to you all!Paul was sat in the sun today in the garden ready for another lively debate with Mr Eltham. Keeping it real as always, the discussion took many twists and turns with opinions on all things current in the CV crisis. How long will we be bound to our homes? Why is the media reporting in such a way that seems to have no room for positivity? Over the weekend, we saw a fall in daily death rate of CV fatalities and the media still reported in a way that seemed the opposite of highlighting this. How do we in England compare to the likes of Sweden, and other countries that have took a completely different approach to lockdown than us?Also in this stream we have reminiscent tales of Churchill and the call to our beloved Mr Johnson to be back at the helm.
