Minor correction regarding the name “Ethelred the Unready:” the epithet “Unraed” was apparently attached to his name over 150 years after his death; it did not mean “Unready,” but “Ill-Advised” or “Badly-Counseled.” (See his Wikipedia entry for a detailed discussion of this epithet, and how it was a mocking pun on his first name.)
Very interesting! Will you do more videos on The Last Kingdom series?
Yes I will be doing a video on Athelflaed, Edward the elder and Athelstan together in one video and perhaps one more on Athelwold
I have already done a video on Alfred the great :)
