This week starts with Taylor taking us through the craziest year in English history - 1066. It started with King Edward the Confessor yelling ‘It was meeeeee’ - just kidding - he died (and probably confessed to a Priest right before). Anyway! Now lots of people think they are the heir to the throne and they start to fight for it from all shores of the British Isles. 

There are Vikings, there are Normans, there’s Haley’s Comet! It’s wild, and by Christmas, a new King will be crowned starting a whole new era.
