From the misty shores of Celtic Britain to the twilight of the British Empire, Lucas and Luna trace the thousand-year saga of a small island that shaped the modern world. This show delves into the dynasties that fought for the crown—Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, and Hanoverians—and the wars that forged a nation: the Hundred Years' War, the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War, and the global conflicts of the 18th and 19th centuries. Explore the Magna Carta's legacy, the Glorious Revolution's constitutional shifts, and the slow unraveling of empire. From Alfred the Great's defense against Vikings to Churchill's wartime leadership, each episode unpacks the decisions and individuals that defined an era. We examine the social fabric: the Black Death's demographic devastation, the Industrial Revolution's urban transformation, and the rise of parliamentary democracy. The show also confronts Britain's imperial contradictions—the slave trade, colonial exploitation, and the complex legacy of the Raj. Why does the history of this rainy archipelago still resonate in everything from language to law? Tune in to understand how England's past became the world's inheritance. #History #EnglandHistory #BritishEmpire #MedievalEngland #Tudors #Stuarts #MagnaCarta #HundredYearsWar #WarsOfTheRoses #EnglishCivilWar #IndustrialRevolution #VictorianEra #Churchill #AlfredTheGreat #NormanConquest #FexingoHistory #WorldHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Edgar and Dunstan: The Monastic Reform That Remade England

    Edgar and Dunstan: The Monastic Reform That Remade England
    2026/06/06
    In this episode of The History of England, Lucas and Luna dive into the tenth-century monastic reform movement that reshaped English religious and political life. They explore how King Edgar the Peaceable, working with the great churchmen Dunstan, Æthelwold, and Oswald, imposed the Benedictine Rule on every monastery in England through the Regularis Concordia. The conversation covers the Synod of Winchester, the expulsion of married clergy, the building of new abbeys like Glastonbury and Abingdon, and the political motives behind reform—including Edgar's desire to centralise power and reduce noble influence. Lucas explains how the reformers created a network of literate, disciplined monks who served as royal administrators, and how Queen Ælfthryth became the first anointed queen of England. The episode also touches on the resistance from secular clergy and the lasting legacy of monastic learning. Along the way, listeners learn about the cost of reform in human terms, including the destruction of traditional minsters and the loss of local religious autonomy. #History #FexingoHistory #England #AngloSaxon #EdgarThePeaceable #Dunstan #Aethelwold #Oswald #RegularisConcordia #MonasticReform #Benedictines #SynodOfWinchester #Glastonbury #Abingdon #Aelfthryth #TenthCentury #MedievalChurch #EnglishMonarchy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

They discuss the Regularis Concordia, the revival of Benedictine monasticism, the expulsion of secular clerics from cathedrals, and how these reforms reshaped English religious and political life. The conversation touches on the Synod of Winchester, the role of Queen Ælfthryth, and the lasting influence of the reformed monasteries on learning, art, and royal administration. Specific figures include Edgar, Dunstan (Archbishop of Canterbury), Æthelwold (Bishop of Winchester), and Oswald (Archbishop of York).

  • How the Reform Penny Unified Anglo-Saxon England

    How the Reform Penny Unified Anglo-Saxon England
    2026/06/05
    In the late 10th century, King Edgar and Archbishop Dunstan introduced a revolutionary new coinage—the Reform Penny—that transformed England's economy and helped unify the kingdom. This episode explores how the standardized silver penny, with its distinctive cross-and-crosslets design, replaced a chaotic mix of local currencies. We trace the coin's production across dozens of mints, each overseen by a royal moneyer, and its role in promoting trade and royal authority. Discover the evidence from hoards like the Blythburgh Hoard, which reveals how widely these coins circulated, and learn about the sophisticated system of trial plates and weight checks that kept the coinage honest. Lucas and Luna also discuss the political genius behind the reform—how Edgar used a single currency to bind his diverse subjects together, from Wessex to the Danelaw. A fascinating look at how money shaped the birth of England. #ReformPenny #EdgarThePeaceable #AngloSaxonEngland #CoinageReform #BlythburghHoard #CuerdaleHoard #Dunstan #Moneyers #CrossAndCrosslets #TenthCentury #EnglishEconomy #Numismatics #MedievalHistory #BritishHistory #FexingoHistory #History #Podcast #England Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
