Order of succession[edit source]
The game seems to imply that Æthelred preceded Oswald as king, not the other way around. V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 03:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Yes in game it goes Edmund -> Aethelred -> Oswald -> Guthrom. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 03:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- I knew AC played loose with history, but how do you mess up succession order? The only way I can think this could be explained is that, as WP notes, Æthelred's rule may have had some overlap with Oswald's. – Darman (talk) 04:00, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

- Yeah this isnt really messing up the succession order since the order is not known. As far as things go this is nothing compared to other weird historical mishaps AC has done. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 04:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
