Two men have been found guilty of criminal damage, for the felling of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree in Northumbria. Constance Kampfner sat through the trial, in which the prosecution called what Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers had done, ‘a moronic mission to cause mindless vandalism.' The men were remanded in custody for their own protection after the verdict was announced. This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Militärhistoriepodden
Stamford Bridge till Hastings – vikingatidens sista stora slag

Militärhistoriepodden

I september år 1066 avreste den normandiske hertigen och vikingaättlingen Vilhelm Bastarden, eller som han senare kom att kallas Vilhelm ”erövraren”, från den normandiska nordkusten i närheten av Calais. Hans fälttåg mot England skulle bli en av de mest mytomspunna historiska händelserna i Europas historia. Vilhelms trupper landsteg ett par kilometer väster om Hastings i sydöstra England, som också kom att bli platsen för det stora slaget.Kungen av England hade nyligen dött och lämnat efter sig en komplicerad arvstvist. Vilhelm Bastarden sökte den engelska kronan, som han tyckte sig blivit lovad. Problemet var bara att på andra sidan kanalen fanns jarlen Harald Godwinsson, även han vikingaättling, och enligt honom själv också lovad den engelska kronan. Och inte nog med det, så var Harald Hårdråde, kung av Norge, också påväg mot England för att besätta tronen.I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden pratar Idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i Historia Martin Hårdstedt om de mytomspunna slagen vid Stamford bridge och vid Hastings.Slaget vid Hastings år 1066 eller bara ”ten-sixtysix” som det ofta heter är antagligen ett av Europas mest kända militärhistoriska händelser. Även om själva slaget i sig är dramatiskt nog för att ha föranlett mängder av historiska studier och böcker, så är slagets kontext lika intressant.Slaget sker mitt i ett skede i Europas historia där den kristna kyrkan har konsoliderat sin makt, och där kungadömen kämpar för att centralisera och kontrollera allt större områden. Ur ett nordeuropeiskt perspektiv är slaget på många sätt slutpunkten för vikingarnas herravälde över vattnet och i krigföringen, i och med att kavalleriet och bågskyttarna nu får allt större roll i kriget. Men det handlar också om vilket inflytande kungen ska ha över ett land, och hur de ska förhålla sig till sina jarlar och hertigar, men även till påven i Rom.Harald Godwinssons förlust mot Vilhelm Bastarden måste också ses i kontext mot de tidigare konflikter som han hade att hantera. Redan innan Harald valdes till kung i England hade han genom intriger och regelrätta inbördeskrig kämpat för att kontrollera kronan genom den sittande kung Edward. Haralds främsta motståndare var hans egen bror Tostig som Harald avsatt som jarl av Northumbria. Tostig gick i exil och sökte stöd hos både den danske kungen Sweig och den norske kungen Harald Hårdråde för att störta sin bror från makten i England, samtidigt som Vilhelm Bastard förberedde sin invasion. Tostig fick med sig den norske kungen och bara någon vecka innan Harald Godwinsson skulle möta Vilhelm vid Hastings, hade han att hantera sin bror och norges krigarkonung Hårdråde som samlat sig strax norr om York, vid Stamford Bridge.Ur den striden gick Harald segerviss, men vilka konsekvenser fick kampen mot Hårdråde för Godwinssons fortsatta konflikt med Vilhelm Bastarden? Mycket har spekulerats om Godwinssons tillstånd under dessa avgörande veckor i Englands historia. Gjorde han rätt, hur stor armé hade han med sig, och varför beslutade han att anfalla som han gjorde vid Hastings. Diskussionen om Godwinssons död vid Hastings säger också mycket om situationen i efterhand. Dog han verkligen av en pil i ögat som legenden säger, eller finns något annat bakom denna ofta återkommande berättelse?Bild: Bayeux gobelängen - Scen 57: Kung Harolds död i slaget vid Hastings.

How a helpless baby bird protects itself from hungry huntersThere's not a more vulnerable creature in nature than a baby bird. Tiny and immobile, they're easy pickings for predators. But the chicks of the white-necked jacobin hummingbird have evolved a unique defence. They disguise themselves as poisonous caterpillars to discourage those that might eat them. Jay Falk, an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado and Scott Taylor, director of the Mountain Research Station and associate professor at the University of Colorado, studied these birds in Panama. Their research was published in the journal Ecology.Seals have a sense of their oxygen levels, which makes them better diversSeals can dive at length to tremendous depth thanks to some remarkable adaptations, like the ability to collapse their lungs, and radically lower their heart rate. Chris McKnight, a senior research fellow at the University of St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit in Scotland, led a study looking to see if tweaking oxygen and C02 levels changed the seals' dive times. The researchers discovered that the seals have the unique ability to measure the oxygen levels in their tissues, so they can anticipate when they need to return to the surface before they get into trouble. The research was published in the journal Science.Fruit flies can show a playful sideAs the joke goes, time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. Researchers recently demonstrated that fruit flies enjoy more than just aged produce. Using a custom carousel built to fly scale, scientists found that some, but not all, of their fruit flies would play on it, enjoying an activity that had nothing to do with the necessities of life. This brings up the possibility  of variability in personality for fruit flies. Wolf Hütteroth is an associate professor at Northumbria  University, Newcastle and was part of the team, whose research was published in the journal Current Biology.Scaring krill with a dose of penguin pooKrill, the small, shrimp-like creatures that swarm the world's oceans and are particularly abundant in southern oceans, play a big role in marine food webs, connecting microscopic organisms with many of the oceans' larger animal species. Researchers in Australia investigated how krill respond to predator cues, like the smell of their feces. Nicole Hellessey, from the University of Tasmania, said the mere whiff of penguin feces affects the Antarctic krills' feeding behaviour and causes them to take frantic evasive action. The study is published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science. Fossils tell us what dinosaurs were. How do we know what they did? Dinosaur bones can tell amazing stories about these prehistoric beasts, but how do we piece together how they behaved? A new book dives into the many lines of evidence that can shed light on the behaviour of these extinct creatures. From fossils, to tracks they left behind, to their modern day descendents, paleontologist David Hone from Queen Mary University of London explores how scientists develop robust theories about how dinosaurs lived in his new book, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior: What They Did and How We Know.

Despite his past of slaying a dragon/serpent and being a great king among men, Ragnar sees his son's exploits beginning to exceed his own.In what seems to be a dark age mid life crisis, Ragnar decides to go to England with only 2 ships in an effort to take the land (with the justified lack of support of his wife, Aslaug). However, seeing she cannot change his mind, Aslaug give Ragnar a hair shirt that would prevent him from taking harm on the battlefieldArmed with the hair shirt and the spear he used to slay the dragon and win over his first wife, Thora, Ragnar embarks on his journey. However, his voyage quickly takes a disastrous turn when he wrecks on the eastern shores of Northumbria.The hosts dive into the aftermath of Ragnar's ill-fated invasion. Did Ragnar truly believe he had a chance to conquer England, or was he already aware that his actions would set the stage for an even greater destiny—one that would elevate the legacy of his sons?Ways to support us:If you have been enjoying our show, please write a 5 star review on itunes to help spread our podcast to a wider audience:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/between-two-ravens-a-norse-mythology-podcast/id1604263830Buy Shawn a Beer or Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/tworavenpodcastFollow us for updates or send us a message on Instagram:Instagram: (@TwoRavensPodcast): https://www.instagram.com/tworavenspodcast/Check out David's writing: Walled Garden (https://thewalledgarden.com/davidalexander)Our podcast is part of The Walled Garden Podcast Network.

Saint of the Day
Venerable Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth (689-690) - January 12th

Saint of the Day

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 12, 2025


He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome.   Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

The US is in an Age of Polarization. From the 1930s to the 1980s, voter allegiances were more fluid, and presidents sometimes won massive landslides (think Reagan in 1984 or Nixon in 1972). But for the last thirty years, a huge gulf between the parties -- at least rhetorically -- has opened up, and elections have been persistently nail-bitingly close. How did this happen? In this special series, we examine the campaigns and characters of the last 30 years and trace the emergence of the partisan alignment and bitter polarisation we see today. In this episode, the election of 2016. The shocking victory of Donald Trump and the final emergence, perhaps, of a new partisan alignment.Presenter: Adam Smith, Orsborn Professor of US Political History at Oxford and Director of the Rothermere American InstituteGuests:Patrick Andelic of the University of Northumbria, author of Donkey Work: Congressional Democrats in Conservative America, 1974-1994, now out in paperbackUrsula Hackett, Reader in Politics at Royal Holloway, University of London, author of America's Voucher Politics: How Elites Learned to Hide the StateThe Last Best Hope? is a podcast of the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford.

In this episode: 2000 – the election in which Al Gore won the popular vote but George W. Bush won the presidency after the Supreme Court stopped ongoing recounts in Florida and awarded the electoral college votes to the Republican. A tight but relatively bland election campaign was followed by a bitter aftermath, destroying many people's faith in the electoral process, generating surging conspiracy theories – a loss of basic trust that Donald Trump would later exploit.Presenter: Adam Smith, Orsborn Professor of US Political History at Oxford and Director of the Rothermere American InstituteGuests:Patrick Andelicby of the University of Northumbria, author of Donkey Work: Congressional Democrats in Conservative America, 1974-1994, now out in paperbackUrsula Hackett, Reader in Politics at Royal Holloway, University of London, author of America's Voucher Politics: How Elites Learned to Hide the StateThe Last Best Hope? is a podcast of the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford.
