Cnut The Great's Conquest of England
Between 1013 and 1016, England was torn by Danish invasions, shifting allegiances and brutal campaigning. This episode tracks how Sweyn Forkbeard's seizure of power set the stage, how Æthelred's return faltered, how Edmund Ironside fought back, and how Cnut finally secured the crown after Assandun and a hard political settlement with the English elite.
