from The Proper British History Podcast: Kings, Queens, Wars, Empire, Politics, Revolutions, Royalty and the Historical Great Britain · host Podily

This episode investigates the legendary lone Viking standing firm on the Ouse bridge in 1066. By analysing monastic chronicles, Norse sagas and archaeological findings, we weigh evidence of an individual stand against broader tactical realities. We show how the story became a cultural symbol even if historical certainty remains limited. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
