From the misty shores of Celtic Britain to the twilight of the British Empire, Lucas and Luna trace the thousand-year saga of a small island that shaped the modern world. This show delves into the dynasties that fought for the crown—Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, and Hanoverians—and the wars that forged a nation: the Hundred Years' War, the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War, and the global conflicts of the 18th and 19th centuries. Explore the Magna Carta's legacy, the Glorious Revolution's constitutional shifts, and the slow unraveling of empire. From Alfred the Great's defense against Vikings to Churchill's wartime leadership, each episode unpacks the decisions and individuals that defined an era. We examine the social fabric: the Black Death's demographic devastation, the Industrial Revolution's urban transformation, and the rise of parliamentary democracy. The show also confronts Britain's imperial contradictions—the slave trade, colonial exploitation, and the complex legacy of the Raj. Why does the history of this rainy archipelago still resonate in everything from language to law? Tune in to understand how England's past became the world's inheritance. #History #EnglandHistory #BritishEmpire #MedievalEngland #Tudors #Stuarts #MagnaCarta #HundredYearsWar #WarsOfTheRoses #EnglishCivilWar #IndustrialRevolution #VictorianEra #Churchill #AlfredTheGreat #NormanConquest #FexingoHistory #WorldHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Harold Godwinson The Last Anglo-Saxon King

    Harold Godwinson The Last Anglo-Saxon King
    2026/06/08
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the life and reign of Harold Godwinson, the last crowned Anglo-Saxon king of England. They explore his rise to power as Earl of Wessex, his pivotal role in the death of Tostig Godwinson and the Northumbrian rebellion, the fateful events of 1066 including the Battles of Stamford Bridge and Hastings, and the controversies surrounding his oath to William of Normandy. The episode examines Harold's military leadership, his diplomatic struggles, and the enduring myth of his survival at Hastings. Drawing on the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Bayeux Tapestry, and Norman chroniclers like William of Poitiers, they separate fact from legend and consider what might have been if Harold had won. #HaroldGodwinson #AngloSaxonEngland #BattleofHastings #StamfordBridge #NormanConquest #BayeuxTapestry #TostigGodwinson #WilliamtheConqueror #1066 #EarlofWessex #AngloSaxonChronicle #Housecarls #Fyrd #OathofWilliam #EnglishHistory #MedievalHistory #LastAngloSaxonKing #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The St Brice's Day Massacre: England's Darkest Viking Massacre

    The St Brice's Day Massacre: England's Darkest Viking Massacre
    2026/06/08
    In November 1002, King Æthelred the Unready ordered the killing of all Danes in England. The St Brice's Day Massacre remains one of the most controversial events of Anglo-Saxon history. This episode explores what led to the order, the archaeological evidence from Oxford's St John's College excavation, and the immediate backlash that brought Sweyn Forkbeard's invasions. We examine the conflicting accounts from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, William of Malmesbury, and later Scandinavian sagas. Was it a desperate act of a failing king, or a calculated move that backfired catastrophically? The massacre shattered any hope of peaceful coexistence between Anglo-Saxons and Danes, setting the stage for Cnut's conquest. We also touch on the massacre's legacy in English identity and how it was used by later chroniclers to vilify Æthelred. #StBricesDayMassacre #ÆthelredTheUnready #SweynForkbeard #AngloSaxonChronicle #VikingAge #Danelaw #CnutTheGreat #Oxford #WilliamOfMalmesbury #EmmaOfNormandy #AngloSaxonEngland #VikingMassacre #MedievalHistory #EnglishHistory #FexingoHistory #History #Podcast #England Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Cnut the Great: England's Viking King

    Cnut the Great: England's Viking King
    2026/06/07
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna turn from Alfred's line to a Danish conqueror who reshaped England. Cnut the Great, son of Sweyn Forkbeard, seized the throne in 1016 after years of war with Æthelred the Unready and Edmund Ironside. We explore how Cnut ruled not just England but a North Sea empire spanning Denmark, Norway, and parts of Sweden—his 'North Sea Empire.' We talk about his 1018 meeting at Oxford where he formalized law between Danes and English, his pilgrimage to Rome in 1027, and the famous story of him commanding the tide (a myth, but revealing). We also discuss his most lasting act: the Canute penny, a high-silver coin that replaced Æthelred's Helmet type and became the standard English coin for a generation. Through the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Encomium Emmae Reginae, and hoards like the Sporle Hoard, we piece together how a Viking king made himself an English one—and why his empire didn't outlast him. #CnutTheGreat #VikingKing #NorthSeaEmpire #CanutePenny #AngloSaxonChronicle #EncomiumEmmaeReginae #SweynForkbeard #EdmundIronside #Oxford1018 #RomePilgrimage #SporleHoard #VikingHistory #MedievalEngland #EnglishCoinage #EleventhCentury #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
