このコンテンツについて

 The mists of post-Roman Britain have swallowed most names—but Cynric, King of Wessex, refuses to vanish quietly. What do we really know about the man who inherited the “first” English dynasty? Step into sixth-century Wessex, where power is fragile, alliances are dangerous, and even the “facts” are up for grabs. As we dig into Cynric’s 26-year reign, we unravel more questions than answers:

Was Cynric truly Cerdic’s son, or just a convenient heir for chroniclers desperate to invent a royal line?

Who were the silent women and “missing” family members shaping a kingdom we’re told was built by men? This episode doesn’t just rehash the old stories—it confronts them. We draw on sources from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicleto modern archaeological finds, revealing how each retelling twists the story in its own way.

Why do the sources disagree—and what gets lost in the spaces between legend, genealogy, and raw survival?

You’ll hear how royal myth is spun, challenged, and sometimes flat-out invented. Cynric’s life becomes a window into the everyday struggle of holding power, the burden of being remembered, and the reality that most history is written in pencil, not stone.

Who gets to found a dynasty, and who gets forgotten?

And what do we risk when we take the old chronicles at their word? Subscribe for more royalty, more myth-busting, and more of the stories that shape how we make sense of this shit—past and present.
