The year of 924 saw the death of King Edward the Elder, son and successor of Alfred the Great and the accession of one of the great (if largely forgotten) kings of English history, the first king of a unified England!
In this video, we take a look at Æthelstan, who claimed the title "King of the English" in 927 AD and went on to fight a triple alliance of British kings for the very survival of this new Saxon kingdom, (probably) at a place near modern Bromborough, which would become known to subsequent generations as simply: "the Great Battle."
