note: Although Edith the fair wasn't a queen and missed out on the position, her tale was simply too amazing to not include in the compilation video.

I love your content and telling of the history. One suggestion, put the compilation in chronological order. It would be easier to follow , especially with some of the names so unusual for some of us. Thanks! ❤

It is horrible to think about the sacrifices people made to build these cathedrals just for the narcissist Henry VIII to destroy them.

Tut! You forgot to mention that Edmund Ironside died on a booby-trapped lavvy! But when Cnut was given the head of Edmund and discovered how it was obtained, he angrily told the-probably nifty assassin, 'For this I shall honour you above all other men!' He had him tortured to death and his head impaled on a spear that was mounted on a church tower!

Perhaps surprisingly, no English sources cast suspicion on Cnut or suggest he was involved in his rival's death - quite the opposite, in fact. Cnut was not above executing political opponents (including one of Edmund's brothers, and his own brother-in-law) so it would hardly have been out of the question, and some late Scandinavian sources have no doubt Cnut was responsible. The English historians, however, tell a very different story. The treaty made between Cnut and Edmund, illustrated by their kiss of peace in the thirteenth-century manuscript above, had made them 'partners and pledged-brothers' and William of Malmesbury says that Cnut continued to refer to Edmund as his brother; he even visited Edmund's grave at Glastonbury on the anniversary of his death and presented a rich cloak decorated with peacocks at his tomb. When Edmund fearful and most formidable to his enemies, was prospering in his kingdom, he went one night to the lavatory to answer a call of nature. There the son of Ealdorman Eadric, who by his father's plan was concealed in the pit of the privy, struck the king twice with a sharp knife in the private parts, and leaving the weapon in his bowels, fled away. Then Eadric came to King Cnut and saluted him, saying, ‘Hail, sole king!’ When he disclosed what had happened, the king answered, ‘As a reward for your great service, I shall make you higher than all the English nobles.’ Then he ordered him to be beheaded, and his head to be fixed on a stake on London’s highest tower. This accound was written by henry of Huntingdon so its hard to say if its acurate or not! Thank you so much for watching though!

@@historyprofiles Indeed, I surely did but tis late here and I fell asleep watching so will pick up where I left off. Just wanted to let you know how much the inclusion of the song playing softly in the background was such a nice touch given one or more of the Queens was from or has Norwegian ancestry. Your voice is quite nice too, glad you don't use technology to narrate for you. 😉

I don't know if it's only about queens of england but if we talk about early middle ages in the whole europe, Amalasunta from the ostrogoths and brunehild from the franks had tales far more shocking and tragic than Emma, Aelswith, Edith or Aelgifu.

First, fire the “artist” who decided that queens needed to have eyes so artificially colored bright blue that they look like they were born on dune. Next do the same to the guy who put a death date of 1080 for Edith Swanneck while the narrator states that she falls off the historical record after 1066.

O/37 Early Medieval was not DARK AGES quite the opposite when Eternal Enlightenment shone most brightly Beginning with Constantine Election in York where his father the Emperor of the West had just died on July 25 306 AD and growing brighter under and Arthur and brighter under King Alfred to Saint Edward What day in June 1042 did Saint Edward ascend throne England the only Saint/King since it is June 2024 now ?
