Welcome to the British History Podcast. My name is Jamie. And this is episode 128, the

end of King Oz we use hegemony. This show is free and independent due to members' support.

And as thanks for helping keep the community going, I offer members only content such

as extra episodes and rough transcripts. If you're interested in supporting the show

and helping us out, you can do so over at the British History Podcast.com. And thank

you very much to Charles Luke and James for contributing already.

on and things that I find interesting. And of course, you can interact with me on both

of those communities. Alright, this episode covers 664-670. And the major characters are

Hera, ruler of Mercia and son of Penda. When we last left off, it was still 664, and
