    Phil's reactions throughout this episode was hilarious and made me laugh out loud often. Classic episode for a Canadian who only recently found out about this type of show and has watched many episodes and has found a soft spot in her heart for all these wonderfully sarcastic serious people.

    Of the 250+ episodes of Time Team that exist (so far) I've probably seen 200 at LEAST, and many of those multiple times since I discovered the show at the start of COVID-19 lockdowns, I love every episode, the cast, and what they find. Whether that is a Roman villa, a long wing of Westminster Abbey, or almost nothing at all! It's always a joy, keep up releasing these :)

    I had the good fortune to grow up in this beautiful village. It also had a Rom Camp on top of the hill alongside the rad to Stanton Saint John. The old Rectory also has links to the civil war so the village has quite a lot of history worth investigating. The possibility that Edward was actually born in a hunter's lodge rather than a palace in which case it may have been somewhere else entirely.
    There is a field which is bounded on three sides by the wall of Manor Farm garden, a road and the brook. Because of the construction it would have long since rotted away especially as the field floods every winter. I'm referring to the field they begin digging on the afternoon of day 2 or the field to the south of it where the road curves round it.
    There is a picture of Edward on the north wall of the church under which is the wording of his gifting the place of his birth to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster.
    In those days Brill would probably have been a day's travel especially for a pregnant woman. Very apt that the moated manor house was in that field as the farm next door is manor farm

    I think that the suggestion by Helen that Edward's mother may have been travelling with her husband (on a hunting trip?) and went into labour unexpectedly provided a new perspective for me. It also perhaps suggests that we need to be careful as to how we re-interpret history with contemporary lenses. Oddly for a dig that had many 'misses', I felt that it delivered rather a lot of insight!

      Think she had two boys; don’t know if this was number 1 or number 2. And as @SF-ru3lp said, probably at uni now.

    I think it's pretty clear the chapel barn was there, but it's probably in the road or under a house by now

    45:03: "It continued to be used as a barn or *out-house* till about 1780"
    Raksha a minute earlier: "It's a privy"
    Tony: "How do you know?"
    Raksha: "We found some degraded feces, I'm afraid."
    Am I mistaken that another name for a privy used to be an "out-house"? Sounds to me like they found the chapel... Look at the size of the walls, and out of stone! Who would build a medieval toilet out of thick stone walls?

    • @kevinjohnbetts
      @kevinjohnbetts ปีที่แล้ว

      You could be right. My thought was that they'd found part of the chapel, maybe an edge with the remaining walls of the privy being made up of robbed out stone. It's clearly a separate building but it strikes me as unusual that a small public toilet would be constructed so solidly and too much of a coincidence that it's where the chapel/barn/out-house should have been.

    What is a “confessor” in saintly and honorific terms?
    “In ecclesiastical history, one often finds the word confessor to signify martyr . This name was subsequently given to those who, after having been tormented by tyrants, lived and died in peace. Finally, confessors came to mean those who, after having led good lives, were regarded as saints at their death.”
    Saint Edward the Confessor was regarded as confessing in his life in the last sense above.

    Was Ed the Con the first gay king? Married but never consumates it. Then theres the incident with one of the servants reported in his hagiography. Servant comes into Eds bedchamber and helps himself to contents of the treasury twice while Ed reclines on the bed. On servants return for third handfull, Ed stops him. Immediately after the incident, in the hagiography, the nobles suggests it might be time Ed took a wife! ( Ed was just turning 40ish).

      There's probably been more before him, if he was of that persuation. Currently we have about 5% of the men who are gay/into dudes I think? Statistically there have to have been a few royals in that group, historically. (Even if they didn't have the words for it, or would have identified themselves in a way that modern people do.)

      @@snazzypazzy There's also Edward II (whose wife Isabella was mentioned briefly here), but of course he was significantly later. His affair with Piers Gaveston was notorious in his time, though probably not because of any squeamishness about homosexuality. Unlike Edward the Confessor, Ed II produced several heirs. Had it been left at that, it probably would have been fine. But Ed II neglected his kingly duties to shower Gaveston with gifts and spend all his time with him. Gaveston was also a hothead and troublemaker and Ed II happily enabled him and backed his squabbles.

      @@MossyMozart Well, the first outed king. As to who cares,well I don’t but it might explain some of his actions in dealing with those around him. Anyway, I think that “ED” was in fact his cousin William (uncle to Will the Conk).
