    The cleverness of Anglo-Saxon folklore is subtle at times, yet bold at others. The first story gives me the impression that if you memorize something, then you have it. Any of the children that memorized it, received the book. 😁

    This was sooo good!!!!!! Now I understand some of the things they put into the Last Kingdom! They had a similar scene where he burnt the bread!!!!
    I assume he didn’t actually have an Uthred?? Lol this video made me like him even more. I’m excited to read the book I got about him. ❤❤❤❤

    • @EvelynEdwards
      @EvelynEdwards  4 роки тому

      There are many trails up to the Tower. Anything from 1/4 mile to 9+ miles. The one I specifically took starts at the old water wheel where I begin talking about Alfred. The route is well marked all the way up to the tower. 🙂

    What do you mean "It will be easier to plunder France " ? That hurts my little french heart... :-)) Well, it turns out that they liked it there, and finally settled in Normandy. I guess they like the cider and Calvados ! Anyway, great images and stories !
