When a Comet Predicted Doom
In the spring of 1066, a flaming comet lit up the skies over England for seven straight nights — and every kingdom in Europe knew what it meant: blood. Three men wanted Harold Godwinson's crown. A Viking warlord with the wildest résumé in medieval Europe was sharpening his axes. And Harold's own brother had switched sides. Join us for a bridge, a berserker, and the greatest victory an English king ever won — three days before it stopped mattering.
