Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

This time we look into the life of Magnus I, a king who spent more of his time and energy focusing on his father's rule down in Denmark. But what will this mean for him when we come to judging him?
