Summary

Series 4 begins! We review our first nearly monarch, Æthelwold, a nephew to Alfred the Great (perhaps familiar to many from The Last Kingdom series) who challenged his cousin, Edward the Elder, for the throne. Largely dismissed by the official history, we find that his claim to the throne (and the threat he posed) was serious and he was able to find some impressive allies along the way. But will he have what it takes to kick off the new series with the Rex Factor? We are doing a live show in Ludlow on Friday 21 August 19:00 - come and see us compare the contenders for the throne in 1066 at the Ludlow Assembly Rooms: https://ludlowassemblyrooms.co.uk/show/rex-factor/ Sign up for lots of bonus content, including an ad-free version of the main podcast and over 450 additional bonus podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rexfactor⁠⁠ You can now watch the podcast via the link below: https://youtu.be/-laTvhxiXAo "(00:00:00) Introduction" "(00:03:11 ) Biography" "(00:25:09) Battleyness" "(00:41:19) Scandal" "(00:47:22) Subjectivity" "(00:51:15) Longevity" "(00:52:27) Dynasty" "(00:54:48) Rex Factor" "(00:59:51) Correspondence Corner" Learn more about your ad choices.
