Royalty: Let’s Make Sense of This Shit
\👑 Power fragile as a whispered secret—step into the volatile world of 8th-century Wessex.
Sigeberht’s reign lasted barely a year, marked by intrigue, swift betrayal, and exile. Why does history almost forget a king whose fall shaped a kingdom?
🔥 In this episode:
- A kingdom on edge—Wessex’s wild forests, shifting loyalties, and a crown held by a man walking a razor’s edge.
- “Unrighteous” and overthrown—what does it really mean to lose power in a world where nobles and church wield the real strength?
- The human side of a failed king—loneliness, paranoia, and the final desperate acts behind the political headlines.
- Exile and murder in the Weald—the brutal reality of royal downfall and the shadow politics of succession.
- Memory and erasure—why do some kings vanish from the story, and what does that silence tell us about history and power?
✨ Why listen?
This is the messy, raw truth of monarchy stripped of legend and pageantry—a story about trust, betrayal, and the price of power told with compassion, skepticism, and a little bit of edge. Isabella guides you through the dark corners of royal history to find the deeply human story beneath the crown.
🤔 What’s at stake?
How fragile is power when your own people turn on you?
What does it mean to be forgotten by history—and remembered only as a cautionary tale?
Can we see failed kings not as villains but as warnings about the costs of rule?
🧾 Sources & Scholarship:
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, later medieval annals, genealogies, and cutting-edge historical interpretations—plus myth-busting and raw, honest reflection.
