SEASON 5: The Norman Conquest of England
EPISODE 76: The Matriarch
With Harold Godwinson dead at Hastings and his brothers slain alongside him, the once-mighty House of Godwine teeters on the edge of ruin. In the shadows of defeat, it’s their mother—Gytha—who emerges as the family’s anchor. Today, we follow her desperate attempt to hold her shattered house together as they flee a kingdom no longer theirs.
