Speaking as somebody with Crohn’s Disease, it’s always interesting to find historical figures that may have suffered it too. Shame they didn’t have endoscopes in the 9th century.

You know a video is good when it spends 4 minutes on one of the greatest King's bowel issues

Ugh...even X2 speed cant keep the pace moving along

King Alfred was never a King of England, according to your video title. It was his ambition and desire to have a united England under one King but he never achieved it. He was the last King of the Anglo Saxons.

I'm glad to have found your channel 👍👍

Great video dude

King Alfred was the last King of the Anglo Saxons, not ever a King of England. Aethelstan was the first true King of England, Athelstan was crowned King of England in 927 AD and was the grandson of King Alfred the Great.

What an interesting video. Must have been loads of research.

Great vidio your a nice guy and lovely to watch

8:38 When I think of a king snatched too early. A hunting accident or a disease especially if reported in area at the time would be a likely death. Sucks that sources of this time sometimes leave us to speculating the circumstances.

Better watched at 1.75x speed.

Couldn't Harold have been shot in the eye THEN cut down? He could've survived the initial wound as some back then did, or the adrenaline was keeping him going, then he was cut down shortly after.

Why platctgec1812 overture in the background yo the deaths of English monarchs

I have ancestry traced back pre 1600's, arrested in Canterbury for assaulting the queens special, they were withdrawn. Also in area of cathedral riot in 1200's. Within 14 - 20 % of many . Some titled. According to wikitree. Other side is French/ Welsh.

Fell asleep. Missed the last half twice 😅
