Edward The Confessor

In this episode of Charlie Higson's canter through Anglo-Saxon England, he reaches the end of the Wessex dynasty.

Edward The Confessor. He died without an heir, which triggered a real life Game of Thrones, although it was more like Musical Chairs.

Ably assisting Charlie in understanding Edward's motives is David Woodman, author of the Penguin Monarch's edition on Edward The Confessor.
