S3.09 Wulfthryth of Wilton
from Rex Factor · host Rex Factor
It's two episodes in one this time as we review the first two of Edgar the Peaceable's consorts. Very little is known about his first consort, Æthelflæd Candida/Eneda, so most of the episode is about Wulfthryth of Wilton, a source of much controversy because she was potentially a nun (or at least intended to become one!) As such, we take an in-depth look at the real history behind 'sex with nuns'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
