Enjoyable as always. Can't wait for Cnut the Great.

You and me both!

[@theuthras5716]

Rest in peace Edmund, may your sides forever be iron.

[@ParryThis]

What a touching memorial.

[@DeutzFarmer96]

Sounds like a pretty tough guy. Then again, having ironsides would be a pretty good advantage.

[@ParryThis]

Yeah, certainly makes swords a lot less dangerous.

[@sabokiTV]

Good video thank you

[@ParryThis]

Thank you for saying so. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@carinasmirnoff1780]

Cool guy. Sounds like a good ruler.

[@ParryThis]

Agreed. Quite cool.

[@nikobellic5198]

Sucks that he didn't get a longer reign.

[@ParryThis]

Yeah, i think English history would have been very different, and probably better if that were the case.

[@HenryKobyla1407]

A short and glorious reign for a heroic warrior king.

[@ParryThis]

Short yes, but certainly glorious.

[@stargatefan10]

I guess he lived by the sword, and likely died by the sword.

[@ParryThis]

It do be that way.

[@Lexi-vl5eh]

The house of Wessex will be restored!

[@ParryThis]

Probably not, but that would certainly be an interesting turn of events, lol.

[@Michael_Brock]

Prefer what if battles than historical analysis.

[@Michael_Brock]
