Strip by: David Morgan-Mar

Caption: Previously in English history:
T-Rex: I'm Æthelstan.
T-Rex: King of England!
T-Rex: Or Ængland, as we say in Saxon. I invaded Scotland for to readily apparent reason. (Hint: I really like shortbread.)
Utahraptor: My liege! The Scottish are revolting!
* Ha ha!
Utahraptor: They're encamped at Brunanburh.
T-Rex: Send my armies north to meet them!
T-Rex: The site of Brunanburh will be remembered forever!*
* That's the joke. Read your English history.

Other famous Saxon Ænglishmen:

Ædward Ælgar.

Æddie "The Ægle" Ædwards.
