The First Ancient Kings of England

This Video will cover the lives of King Alfred the Great, King Edward the Elder and Æthelstan. Over 3 generations, these legendary Kings would unify the divided land of England. England was made from 4 major Kingdoms, Mercia, Wessex, Northumbria and East Anglia. During Alfred's life the Great Heathen army led the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok had overran all of these kingdoms except Wessex which alone was resisting. War and fate would lead Alfred to sit the throne. He would bring the Vikings to heel and would restore his Kingdom to greatness. His son Edward the Elder's life was one of military expansion, further conquering lands to the north that had been taken by the vikings during the invasion of the great army. Edward would eliminate many Viking Kings that had crowned themselves Kings in the lands they had taken. He would gain overlordship over East Anglia and Mercia. His son Æthelstan would dream of being the master of Britain, and would become the first overlord of all of England and Scotland. However, his vassals would grow wary of his overlordship and would fight him in the Battle of Brunanburh. Æthelstan won the battle, but lost control of Scotland, with the end of his territory being the border dividing Scotland and Northumbria. In just 3 generations, the line of Alfred took all of England.
