About this episode
This episode is a special compilation on Æthelstan, discussing his reign in the context of the UK's recognition of 927 as the beginning of England.
In honour of the on-going discussion in the UK about recognising 927 as the official beginning of England I wanted to seize the opportunity for engaging in this dialogue by releasing a special compilation episode on Æthelstan covering his entire reign.
