Angus WallaceHOST
On top of the latest wargaming news that's arrived at WSSHQ, we will be joined later by James Morris and Ryan Lavelle.
Angus WallaceHOST
James' name might be familiar to you as he is the author of Midgard Heroic Battles and Ryan is Professor of Early Medieval History at the University of Winchester.
Angus WallaceHOST
Together they are behind Winchester Shieldwall, a wargaming forum on Viking Age warfare, which takes place at the end of November.
Angus WallaceHOST
But before we get into that, Guy, what's new in wargaming?
Holly FreyHOST
this is not in any way conclusive.
Holly FreyHOST
The University of Winchester, which has spearheaded a project to find Alfred's remains, has not commented on it, and no further study has been done at the proposed site.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
Next, the earliest known moving picture of a total solar eclipse has been found and restored.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
It was rediscovered in the collection of the Royal Astronomical Society and then painstakingly pieced back together and restored by the British Film Institute.
Joanna PennHOST
It is an online degree.
Joanna PennHOST
So if any of you taphophiles out there or you life-obsessed people who like to think about memento mori, Masters in Death, Religion and Culture at Winchester University.
Joanna PennHOST
And I highly recommend doing these kinds of things midlife just to indulge your curiosity.
Joanna PennHOST
But I also know I do not want to be an academic.
JimmyHOST
They applied to the diocese for permission to lift the stone, and the Chancellor of the Diocese of Winchester granted it on security grounds.
JimmyHOST
On March 25, 2013, a small team from the University of Winchester opened the vault.
JimmyHOST
Inside were the remains of at least six people, five skulls and bones from an adult woman, three adult men, and two individuals too incomplete to say much about.
JimmyHOST
The bones went into secure storage, and once the church authorities allowed scientific testing, samples went to the radiocarbon laboratory at Oxford.
JimmyHOST
In July 2026, the author Graham Phillips, who spent 13 years on the question, announced on a television series that he'd used that plan to locate the reburial.
JimmyHOST
His claim is that the bones are about 20 yards from the ledger stones in the Hyde Abbey Garden and that they lie under the adjoining River Park parking lot.
JimmyHOST
The show's production company asked the University of Winchester to run a ground penetrating radar survey to further investigate the claim.
JimmyHOST
The university declined and its public response went no further than saying that finding Alfred's resting place is complex.
Adam JonesHOST
Yeah, what do you-
Rich KeefeHOST
He went to King Alfred's as his college [laughs] that he went to.
Adam JonesHOST
You wanna, you wanna redo your top five?
Rich KeefeHOST
Uh, John Smith?
Rich KeefeHOST
Yeah, he's from the United Kingdom.
Rich KeefeHOST
Yeah, what do you- He went to King Alfred's as his college.
Rich KeefeHOST
[laughs] And he went to- You wanna, you wanna redo your top five? Uh, John Smith? Yeah.
Rich KeefeHOST
No, I'm actually, I like my top five.
Natalie HaighHOST
Get your ticket now.
Natalie HaighHOST
But there's also a really cool event happening on the 25th of November to do with Southern Creative Catalyst, which is at Winchester University.
Natalie HaighHOST
I think it's at three o'clock, is that right? Which is the kind of launch of the research that they've done over the summer, talking about what is needed in the region for creative commercial businesses.
Natalie HaighHOST
And I think that's going to be super interesting.
André Gómez SuárezGUEST
And I reconnected with British academia.
André Gómez SuárezGUEST
So I joined first the University of Bristol and then I joined the University of Winchester.
André Gómez SuárezGUEST
And what I did was to work on peace building implementation, trying to understand the lessons of the 2016 peace agreement.
André Gómez SuárezGUEST
And starting to work on a new strength of work that was reconciliation and thinking about how can societies reconcile, not only do peace building, but reconcile.
