    S4.03 Ælfweard and Edwin
    May 8 2026
    It's a double-header this week with the brothers Ælfweard and Edwin - not a nearly ruling duo but both seem to have met mysteriously early ends amidst a rivalry with their older half-brother Æthelstan. We learn about divisions between Wessex and Mercia, disputes over legitimacy and the mysterious fate of each brother. 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: https://ludlowassemblyrooms.co.uk/show/rex-factor/ Sign up for lots of bonus content, including an ad-free version of the main podcast and over 450 additional bonus podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rexfactor⁠⁠ You can now watch the podcast via the link below: https://youtu.be/o0_8IgytX8w "(00:00:00) Introduction" "(00:03:09) Biography" "(00:34:56) Battleyness" "(00:38:06) Scandal" "(00:40:20) Subjectivity" "(00:43:25) Longevity" "(00:45:54) Dynasty" "(00:46:42) Rex Factor" "(00:49:46) C Corner" Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S4.02 Æthelwold

    S4.02 Æthelwold
    Apr 24 2026
    Series 4 begins! We review our first nearly monarch, Æthelwold, a nephew to Alfred the Great (perhaps familiar to many from The Last Kingdom series) who challenged his cousin, Edward the Elder, for the throne. Largely dismissed by the official history, we find that his claim to the throne (and the threat he posed) was serious and he was able to find some impressive allies along the way. But will he have what it takes to kick off the new series with the Rex Factor?

A program as entertaining as it is informative, Rex Factor is an excellent source of research for anyone, no matter their academic background or lack thereof (the latter being my case). The excellent hosts, Ali and Graham, charmingly cover some of the most important, most hilarious or most terrible events in English history with humour but also with reverence to the historic truth.

I was recommended this program by a friend a number of months ago and I’ve been hooked ever since! I learnt about historical figures I hadn’t heard of before, some more outstanding than others, and found out a great deal about the fascinating stories of the ones I did have previous knowledge of— all thanks to the accessible style of Rex Factor.

I have already finished the 1200-year journey twice— from the perspectives of the English monarchs and the Scots, respectively— but now I embark on that journey for a third time, letting Graham and Ali take me through the inspiring (or not, in some cases) tales of the English consorts.

Truly, an absolute fantastic return on my time investment!

By the Holy Face of Luca! 😱
