Reply to comment by mooses51 in TIL that the 1st King of England made a law that said everyone had to be in bed by 8pm by PoppedUrMomsCherry

I never heard about the Mercian rebellion. But that would make sense. The Vikings had their own problems but it wasn’t a rebellion but a lack of leadership. I guess Æthelstan had a more stable situation all around

Yeah it was in chester. Edward died a few days after putting it down so probably from battle wounds but that's my own conjecture.

He was kind of a shit. I think it’s fair to consider both him and his father a king of England but I’m glad he never officially held the title.
