Скачать или смотреть The Revolt of the Earls 1075: William the Conqueror’s Most Dangerous Betrayal

In 1075, while William the Conqueror was in Normandy, three powerful earls gambled on rebellion—and lost.

This episode breaks down the Revolt of the Earls: the wedding feast conspiracy, the failed coordination, the defense of Norwich, the late Danish factor, and the brutal aftermath that cemented Norman control of England.
If you like medieval politics, military strategy, and dry humor with your history, this one’s for you.

The revolt is widely treated as one of the final serious challenges to William’s post-Conquest rule, and it ended with severe punishment, including the execution of Waltheof (the last surviving English earl).
