Summary

It's two episodes in one this time as we review the first two of Edgar the Peaceable's consorts. Very little is known about his first consort, Æthelflæd Candida/Eneda, so most of the episode is about Wulfthryth of Wilton, a source of much controversy because she was potentially a nun (or at least intended to become one!) As such, we take an in-depth look at the real history behind 'sex with nuns'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:42.0	Wilfrith? So I've only put Wilfreth of Wilton on but it's going to be a double episode because we're
0:46.7	on to Edgar the peaceable, you'll be glad to hear, and Edgar had three wives, but the first one we know almost nothing about her at all.
0:56.4	So I thought rather than do a hashtag remember Ith style episode where there's really nothing
1:01.4	much to go on.
1:02.4	So we do her in this episode and then we episode where there's really nothing much to go on,
1:02.8	thought we'd do her in this episode
1:04.5	and then we'd go on to the other meteor Wolfrith of Wilton.
