Alright, welcome to the British History Podcast.

My name is Jamie and this is Episode 188, Rebellion and Succession in the Kingdom of

Wessex.

This show is free and independent due to member support and as thanks for helping keep

the community going, I offer members only content, including 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 Rachel, James and Finn.

Finn.

I assume you used to be known simply as FN2187.

And keep running Finn, Grand Moth Weasley is still out there.

Anyway, thank you very much for supporting the community and if you'd like to join Finn

and his fight for the resistance and also for independent podcasts, you can join up

for about the price of a latte per month.

Before we begin, I'd like to address something from our last episode.

I told you about reports of Viking or armies marching around the countryside near the

Reckon.

And I offered a variety of methods of reaching the Reckon, all of which would have involved

quite a bit of work.

However, as some of you have noted on Facebook and Twitter, I left out the possibility that

they might have gone up the river Severn.
