S4.07 Harald Hardrada: Review

In the second part of the Harald Hardrada podcast, we review him and decide whether his exploits in Russia, Byzantium, Norway and his invasion of England will earn him the Rex Factor.

(Unfortunately the camera pointed at Graham stopped working for part of the recording, so apologies for his lack of motion at times!)

We are doing a live show in Ludlow on Friday 21 August 2026 at 19:00 - come and see us compare the contenders for the throne in 1066 at the Ludlow Assembly Rooms:
