Ed West is a journalist and massively popular substacker - do check out his substack The Wrong Side of History. But he has a sideline in history so I got him on the show to talk about 1066 and the battle of Hastings. Ed is on top form so please join us as he talks about:
- why Harold should have listened to his Mum
- Harald Hadrada's absolute last poem
- what made the Norman's so very hard to beat
- and why the Normans were the woke progressives of their day!
If you enjoy the conversation then please follow, share with a history‑minded friend and leave a quick review to help others find the show!
