I admit I haven’t seen this show, but I saw the trailer where they were talking about like, protecting their nation, and might’ve called it Britain, or something, but wasn’t this too early in history for them to be thinking in those terms?
Good article except they keep calling him a Saxon. He’d call himself Anglian, English, or just Northumbrian.

Ehhh kingdoms were a thing, and to protect them was also a thing. Alfred the Great made a big thing about defining the English at this point and that this was their land. But Britain wasn’t a nation so no, that part isn’t accurate.

I get that, I meant that they are discussing the historically accurate parts but calling him a Saxon is not historically accurate.
