About this listen
In 1016, England’s King Edmund Ironside fought fiercely to defend his crown against Danish invaders, earning his reputation as a warrior king. But just weeks after dividing the kingdom with his rival, Cnut, Edmund was dead. Some say illness claimed him. Others insist it was a gruesome assassination, carried out in the most humiliating way possible. In this episode, we uncover the mystery behind one of England’s earliest royal murders.
