I couldn’t have said it any better then you did... You hit it right on the head Carl Higgs... More so now that Hirst wrote that Æthelred I, King of Wessex was poisoned by his own Mother because Judith ( his Mother ) was so afraid that Æthelred I, would betray KiNG Alfred The Great? Huh? ( I love Michael Hirst writings ) that’s why I’m finding it hard to watch these new episodes. Why couldn’t Hirst just have King Æthelred I, King of Wessex Killed in action like it happens in REAL History?
