00:12

England in the Middle Ages.

00:14

The sun is shining,

00:16

the birds are singing,

00:17

the children are playing in the village square.

00:19

'What a wonderful time to be alive!'

00:21

'Hey, you're dying of dysentery.

00:23

And also we're being raided by Vikings.'

00:26

'What an awful time to be alive!'

00:28

It's the year 900.

00:29

Europe is a Viking's wet dream.

00:31

Raids galore.

00:32

'Hey, you wanna go raid Paris?'

00:34

'Okay.'

00:34

That particular raid didn't go too well,

00:36

but the King of the Franks said, 'You guys are pretty tough and scary.

00:38

How about we give you land in northern France,

00:40

and in return,

00:41

you protect us from other Vikings.'

00:42

And it was agreed.

00:43

The Vikings set up the Duchy of Normandy,

00:45

and then they went full-on French,

00:46

converting to Christianity,

00:47

learning the language,

00:48

and making babies with the locals.

00:50

England also had its fair share of Viking problems.

00:52

In the 800s

00:53

Danish Vikings had conquered most of the country,

00:55

but the Anglo-Saxons eventually managed to kick them out.

00:57

Although they left behind a bunch of Viking settlers.

00:59

Now this guy is King.

01:00

'He sucks. Replace him with his brother.'

01:02

And he was like, 'Hey baby, how you doin'?'

01:03

and had a son, and then turned around and was like,

01:05

'Hey baby, how you doin'?'

01:06

and had another son.

01:07

And then he died, and no one was sure which son to make King.

01:09

'This one, 'cause he's older.'

01:10

'Not if I have anything to do with it.'

01:12

'That works for us too.'

01:13

Then he grew up and married the Duke of Normandy's daughter,

01:15

and had a bunch of kids.

01:16

Remember this one.

01:17

He's important.

01:18

Then his advisors came to him and said,

01:19

'Hey man.

01:20

All those Viking settlers that are living here...

01:22

they might band together.

01:23

And kill you.'

01:25

'Well then why don't we kill them first?'

01:27

And so it was.

01:27

This pissed off the Danish King, who launched an invasion

01:30

and the Vikings conquered England once again.

01:32

Then the Anglo-Saxons un-conquered it.

01:33

Then the Vikings re-conquered it.

01:35

The King's family had to go into exile,

01:37

including Edward.

01:38

Remember him?

01:38

He went to Normandy, where he lived for thirty years.

01:41

He and his brother Alfred tried to return to England to retake the throne from the Vikings,

01:44

but they were betrayed by the Earl of Wessex who said,

01:46

'Hey friend. I'll take you to London where all the nobles are waiting to make you King -

01:49

Oh no, look out, red-hot poker in the eyes!'

01:51

'I can't see!'

01:52

'And thus you can't be King.'

01:54

Edward then escaped back to Normandy.

01:55

After a few more Viking Kings came and went,

01:57

one finally died without an heir,

01:59

and Edward was called back to England where he became King.

02:01

And that's where our story begins.

02:07

Here's the thing about becoming a King in the Middle Ages.

02:09

Often your entire country won't support you at first,

02:11

you can be vulnerable to rebellions,
