349 – AElfgifu’s Tale

from The Dark Ages | The British History Podcast

Successful Kings don’t rule alone. This is especially true for Kings with as much going on as Cnut. And one of Cnut’s most influential right-hand men was actually his Queen. And Emma was more than just an advisor. She was wielding considerable power in her own right, power that likely expanded every time Cnut journeyed out of England. But Queen Emma wasn’t Cnut’s only wife.
