  • That was good kinging! lol

    I love this.

  • @emanitudism

    glad you liked it!

  • ...Woah.

    It's really interesting to see how a language has evolved so much. A modern English speaker like myself can't even make a lot of those sounds.

  • Yep, It's virtually a foreign language - try listening to bit of medieval English: it's half-way between modern English and the old English from the clip, and it is at least recognisably English!

  • This is great. I just wished the male reenactors would wear long hair.....I feel like it cheapens it and it's just too easy for them to put on the anglo-saxon clothing but always always having the nice modern haircuts.

  • Brilliant reading! Your voice is very clear and pleasing.
