  • Cynric of Wessex: The Ghost King Who Built England’s First Dynasty

    Cynric of Wessex: The Ghost King Who Built England’s First Dynasty
    2025/06/01
    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.

  • Cerdic: The Shadowy Founder of Wessex – Untangling the Real Origins of England’s Royal Story

    Cerdic: The Shadowy Founder of Wessex – Untangling the Real Origins of England’s Royal Story
    2025/05/25
    The roots of English royalty are tangled, messy, and anything but certain—and at the heart of it all is Cerdic, the so-called “founder” of Wessex. Was he a Saxon conqueror, a local Briton with a rebranded name, or something in between? Travel back to a Britain still reeling from the collapse of Rome, where kingdoms are claimed with swords, stories, and sheer nerve. Cerdic’s legacy is written in fragments: scraps of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, whispered local legends, and the shifting landscape of archaeology that refuses to settle on a single truth.

    How did one man’s myth become the cornerstone for centuries of monarchy—and what if it’s built on sand?

    Who decided which voices made it into the story, and which were lost in the fog? This episode pulls apart the legend:

    We follow Cerdic’s arrival on the southern shores, his rise to power, and the gaps and contradictions that turn history into a detective story. Drawing on ancient chronicles, place-name clues, and the hard evidence of burial sites and ruined villas, we piece together the most likely truths—and the stories that were just too convenient to kill.

    Why do some names survive while others disappear?

    And what does Cerdic’s story reveal about how dynasties are created, remembered, and spun? Expect myth-busting, missing women, rival claimants, and the raw reality that no kingdom is born clean.

    Cerdic’s shadow looms over every English king that followed, but his true story is more mysterious—and more human—than any legend.

    Can we ever really know where England’s royalty begins?

    Or is the search itself the real inheritance?

    Subscribe for more royal origins, deep dives, and all the sharp-edged stories that make sense of this shit—one dynasty at a time.
