They sort of skated over the English kings mentioned in the last episode, but they're interesting. Now, from the early 800s, Vikings had been taking territory in the British Isles through conquest and by the time of King Edgar "the Peaceable" (959-975), their territory (known as the Danelaw) stretched from a few miles south of Durham in the Kingdom of Northumbria all the way down to London and across the to the Irish Sea. The details of his rule before 973 are kind of sketchy, but Edgar somehow managed to get many of the remaining English kings to unify under his banner. He built up a massive fleet with which to fend off further Danish incursions along the coast and kept the "peace" with the Danelaw mostly by refusing to interfere in their affairs. He died in 975 at the age of 33, leaving his 13-year-old eldest son, Edward, to rule. Now, contrary to what the previous episode implied by saying they were "two generations" apart (which may have been a mis-translation, granted), Edgar was not Ethelred's grandfather. Ethelred was Edgar's youngest son by way of his third and final wife, Queen Elfrida. His elder half-brother, Edward, only ruled for about three years before being murdered under very questionable circumstances. It's almost certainly the case that Queen Elfrida, Ethelred, and/or nobles who supported Ethelred's claim to the throne were behind Edward's death. Elfrida severely disliked Edward and bitterly disputed Edward's claim to the throne, wishing for her own son to rule instead. Her opposition was only thwarted through the influence of a man known as Dunstan, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time and who would later (in 1029) be canonised as a saint. Despite the obvious benefit Ethelred got from his brother's death, it's unlikely that he had any hand in it. At the time, he was only 12 years old and most accounts maintain that he and his brother had an amicable, even close relationship. The most likely scenario is that Elfrida leveraged the loyalty of the aforementioned nobles to carry out an assassination plot she devised.

If those crossbows ended their assault that quickly they should have never have been able to get that close under bow fire. If we're looking at just raw results crossbows are simply easier to learn to use. Range, speed, power and time for reloading is all comparable if not heavily in the bows favor. At least during that era(archers weren't lanky stealthy assassins, given that bows are actually loud af and the poundage on their bows was usually around 100 lbs double that of modern Olympians and some hunters)

Man, all of this makes me want to see them react to "Vikings", the series. I'm sure Floki and Ragnar would be WELL liked by the crew.
