At the Battle of Edington, an army of the kingdom of Wessex under Alfred the Great defeated the Great Heathen Army led by the Dane Guthrum on a date between 6 and 12 May 878, resulting in the Treaty of Wedmore later the same year. Primary sources locate the battle at "Eðandun". Until a scholarly consensus linked the battle site with the present-day village of Edington in Wiltshire, it was known as the Battle of Ethandun. This name continues to be used.

Hey everyone!
Pledging to my PATREON page is the best way to support me.

I wanted to take a moment and ask for your opinion on how I present the information. Do you prefer a more personal and character-focused story approach, or a neutral presentation that just gives the facts without any fluff?

I love hearing your thoughts and ideas and I want to make sure I'm creating videos that you enjoy and find interesting. So please leave a comment and let me know what you think! Looking forward to reading your feedback.

These visuals are crazy YouTube's about to get really cool

The Vikings were related to the Angles / Saxons / Jutes (Anglo-Saxons). Where I come from, they became ‘English’ together in harmony after initial conflicts. The problems started happening with the Normans (also related but very different). One can say argue, the Normans committed genocide against the ‘English’ especially in the north. Their descendants remain a problem to this day.

Let the fyrd flow like a mountain spring!

Excellent video, your subs should be far higher..

[bozboz]

Other channels may have slightly better graphics but this channel if far superior in discussing the backstory & tactics & battlefield maneuvers...this definitely the best historical battle channel on YouTube imo & will be among YouTube's very best if the graphics quality ever catches up with the other aspects

[MaverickSeventySeven]

The accent of the "Voice over" is excellent! As well as the graphics!! Very 'atmospheric'!!! Thank you.

[davidhull]

The graphics are actually rather comical. Alfred constantly crossing his arms and staring off into the distance, the tiny men striding across the map of England.

[artwise]

A little heavy on the purple prose? It looked like neither side had any tactics, no flanking? No wedges? No archers? No horses?

The only English King named the Great.

[kristianroberts]

Great presentation. Thank you for sharing.

I've been binge-watching "The Last Kngdom", so this makes more sense to me. The series starts with King Alfred.

188 years later their cousins and Grandchildren finished their struggle. The custom of Premogeniture drove almost all Western territorial advancement.

Every time I see an ad for Viking Cruise Lines I shudder in the irony.

[dacokc]

they needed some light calvary to run down the fleeing vikings..

[alex-EWHU]

Any chance of digging him up..? We need him right about now.

[NoMusiciansInMusicAnymore]

That accent seems as realistic and natural as the face movements on Arthur waiting for the battle to start

[rjart]

I live 4 miles from Chippenham I'm amazed there is no monument to Alfred there.

[johnrflinn]

Leaders like this sorely lacking today.

[JPGoertz]

Excellent. Getting better all the time! Thank you!
