How Anglo Saxon warriors took on the Viking-led enemy alliance in Battle of Brunanburh

A bloody Anglo Saxon conflict believed to have taken place in Liverpool which forged modern England is seen by historians as one of the most significant battles in British history but remains largely unknown to its people.
The Battle of Brunanburh in 937AD saw King Aethelstan's English forces fight a Viking-led alliance in a brutal combat which saw six kings and seven earls killed.
At the time of the battle, Britain was a divided nation ruled by the Celts in the far north, the Earls of Northumberland (of Norse, viking decent) in the north of England and most of Ireland while the Anglo Saxons controlled central and southern England.

Holy grail or poisoned chalice: why does Hollywood always mess up King Arthur?

Last modified on Fri 26 Feb 2021 08.39 EST
It’s a popular lament in the comment section of this column that Hollywood remakes are to be viewed with scorn and derision. But film-makers surely have a right to try to deliver a truly definitive big-screen version of a famous myth, even if dozens before them have failed miserably.
Snyder is at his best when adapting bounteous source material and at his knuckle-headed worst when he is starting from scratch. Hence, his Watchmen is a lovingly vivid, gorgeously rendered adaptation of the classic Alan Moore graphic novel, while his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is generally terrible, bar the rare moments when Snyder is cribbing directly from the comics.

The Original King Lear

The Original King Lear
By Kathryn Walton
Most people today know the story of King Lear from Shakespeare’s tragic play. But the original story actually comes from the medieval period, and it actually has a very happy ending.
Shakespeare wrote his famous tale of the tragic King Lear sometime around 1605. Its complex characterizations, story, and poetics reflect all the brilliance of the early modern playwright. But Shakespeare was far from the first to recount the story of this tragic king. The story actually has roots in medieval folk culture and was first written down by the medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century. It also presents a rather different image of Lear and his youngest daughter.
