After the conquest of Lloegyr Arthgal then turned his attention to the Danes, he asked for the final county in Ireland he did not yet control and the lands of Cumbria and Lancaster as his rightful inheritance from Halfdan, through his mother Saga 'the Truthspeaker'.
The Danes led by Sigfrið Þórunnsson refused and decided to fight, but when Sigfrið Þórunnsson was captured Arthgal made it clear he had no desire to see any more hostilities between his Kingdom and that of his cousins, so An agreement was made, in exchange for his rightful inheritance, the Danelaw would remain independent in it's affairs and religion while providing troops and marriages partners to the soon to be formed Empire of Britannia.

And then THEY came and Arthgal began to see nothing but red. His nobles consider this to be the moment Arthgal truly became king. He emptied the coffers for mercenaries and set his eyes to ending the war with Italia. This was would not end at some coastal county claimed for his brother in Hispania, oh no. It would end with The King Of England's skin hanging from his own walls and his children in chains at the Slave markets in Dublinn.

The Battle Of Toul was rather one sided, Arthgal managed to sneak up on the second largest of of Italia's Armies and destroy them. And with victory cam another gift from the Gods. After The Battle Of Toul, The Commanders brought a man in fine armour to Arthgals tent, Arthgal could only smile as he saw that he had King Jacob of Italy and many of his nobles as his prisoners and more importantly the Kings coffers.

What if, through some kind of disease of some sort, Nero dies before Britannicus is assassinated, and Emperor Claudius makes Britannicus his soul heir to the empire.
What direction would Rome take without Nero’s mismanagement?
How would Britannicus do based on his past?
How would the power hungry Aggripina would react?
How would this affect the spread of Christianity?

>May Romans still hoped that Britannicus, the natural son of Claudius, would take his father's place; but Agrippina had dismissed her stepson's tutors and replaced them with nonentities, to discourage such expectations.

>Tasters routinely sampled all drinks and dishes to guard the family against poisons. But every system has its loopholes, and Nero exploited one of them. Since it was winter, wine was drunk warm, mixed beforehand with hot water. Britannicus' cup was duly tasted and passed to him. But the drink had been made too hot for the young man's liking. He pushed it away, and an obliging servant added melted snow to temper it. The drink, now containing the poison, was not tested a second time. Britannicus sipped it and fell stone dead.

Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
