Summary

Our first female nearly monarch of the series, Edith of Wilton, was the daughter of Edgar the Peaceable and a potential rival to her half-brother, Æthelred the Unready. The question is, was she a political power player in the running for the throne, was she a holy nun with no ambitions towards secular riches, or maybe a bit of both? We are doing a live show in Ludlow on Friday 21 August 2026 at 19:00 - come and see us compare the contenders for the throne in 1066 at the Ludlow Assembly Rooms: ⁠https://ludlowassemblyrooms.co.uk/show/rex-factor/⁠ Sign up for lots of bonus content, including an ad-free version of the main podcast and over 450 additional bonus podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/rexfactor⁠⁠⁠ You can now watch the podcast via the link below: LINK "(00:00:00) Introduction" "(00:02:16) Biography" "(00:40:29) Battleyness" "(00:46:33) Scandal" "(00:53:21) Subjectivity" "(00:59:21) Longevity" "(00:59:41) Dynasty" "(01:00:12) Rex Factor" "(01:04:01) C Corner" Learn more about your ad choices.
