I had the series “King & Conquerer” (Hastings 1066), which aired on Amazon Prime in my queue to watch, but then my son watched it when I was in the same room and I half-listened to it. The one scene that made me take it out of my queue, was when they portrayed Edward the Confessor beating his mother to death. WTF?? That never happened.

She was pretty opportunistic, but you’re right.
