Our review of BBC TV's King & Conqueror by historian Annie Whitehead:
How unhistorical was it?
And does that matter?
In this case, she says, it was "a wasted opportunity".

Was thrilled to be sent a photo of this piece in the Tamworth Herald 😊
(But, m'lud, in my defence I didn't accuse Athelstan of having anything to do with his father's death. I plead guilty to the other charge of suggested fratricide though 😂)

Two of 8 #Viking 'ring-money' silver arm-rings found at Kirk o' Banks, Caithness, dating c. AD 1000.
Ring-money = silver penannular ‘currency’ rings of Hiberno-Scand / Baltic origins, the Scotto-Scand version of which first appeared in a datable context in Orkney's Skaill hoard, deposited c.960-80.
