I set up this file on the 20th, a couple of days after the last Digest, and we've had eleven topics already. Not bad. Here are the other GGG topics introduced since the previous Digest ping:

Æthelflæd is a real babe in
The Last Kingdom - if you like your hot warrior babes.
She and Uhtred always have each other's backs, though they're not romantically involved.
"My name is Uhtred, son of Uhtred. I was born an ealdorman of Northumbria, the rightful heir to Bebbanburg. But fate decreed I would be raised as a Dane. That was my life... Until my family was murdered."

In the book series by Bernard Cornwell, Aethelfled and Uhtred do become romantically involved after her jerk of a husband dies-and they remain lovers until her death-I just ordered the latest book in the series-hope it is as good a read as all the others have been...

I do love TIMELINE. I have probably seen them all!
To: BenLurkin
I agree. :^) What happened was, that TT episode was on deck on the other computer, and I finally clicked play. I haven't watched the Michael Wood thing yet, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Wood regards Alfred as the greatest ever Englishman (and he does so in agreement with Churchill), and discusses that a bit in that video I linked, uh, where did it go... Here.

Great news!
You watch the TeeVee series The Last Kingdom? It's pretty good.

I watch it when BBCA has it on-they are usually a few months behind streaming service-I think it follows the books very well, so far-the Brits are much better with historical facts in their productions than Hollyweird is-watching a historical series made in America by an American studio is just watching pure fiction-a lot of the historical series on BBCA and History Channel are shot in Canada for the most part-Vikings is one that is...

I do love TIMELINE. I have probably seen them all! I love Timeline and Time Team too and I think Ive watched every Time Team episode at least two or three times, or more. I find Phil Harding strangely sexy. Or someone Id really like to share a pint with at a pub after going on a long field walk : ),

I thought that I'd read some Cornwell books long ago, but I've not read this series.
Looks like a to-do.
Just noticed that he wrote the Sharpe series.

For me, I love Waldemar Januszczak. He has a sort of whimsical way of presenting, although I love them all!

There was an 'English army's in the tenth century? What happened to Arthur and the Britons?
