Ep. 2 - A Dog's Breakfast - Otto the not yet great makes some bad mistakes

Henry the Fowler ended the tradition of splitting the kingdom amongst the male heirs.

So far, so wise. But, and there is always a but, what he did not work out was what to do with the spares. And there were quite a few spares about, three in total. How will Henry's designated heir, Otto I manage?

The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.
