Alright, welcome to the British History Podcast.

My name is Jamie and this is episode 142, the failed Dynastic Politics of Mercia and

Northumbria.

Now as you know, this show is free and independent and that's due to member support and as

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

episodes and rough transcripts.

So if you're interested in supporting the show and helping this out, you can go over to

the British History Podcast dot com and sign up as a member over there.

It's pretty easy, just follow the links to becoming a member or click on the picture

of Hipster Hadrian with a pint of beer.

And thank you very much to Christy, Dan and Vanessa for contributing already.

Now today is going to be a little complex.

It actually took me a while to put this one together because there are so many moving

parts.

But if you keep the theme in mind, you should be okay.

And that theme is that the bloody Dynastic politics and the Midlands and the North are

really getting completely out of hand.

Oh, and Wilfred is still Wilfred.

Alright, and as usual, we have some changes in nuttiness and Mercia and Northumbria.

Really all of the best stuff is happening up there.

Though it is fun that when King Inna of Wessex took the throne, he made Kent pay a wear

guild for the murder of Mole.
