In 1035 AD, It seemed very unlikely that William (the Conqueror) , then 8 years old, would be the one to conquer and then colonize England, let alone survive as the Duke of Normandy. William's father, Duke Robert had gon
Lady Godiva is most famous for her ride through Coventry wearing nothing yet her long hair covering everything. Before asking the question - did she really do this and why, the first question is did she even exist? The t
The tale of Nell Gwyn is a true rag to riches story. Her childhood was an impoverished one, where nobility and wealth were but a dream. Yet by the end of her life, her two sons by King Charles II were ennobled and wealth
The fascists in Britain found their leader or their leader found them. Oswald Mosley formed the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1932. Mosley was a veteran of WW1. He ws also a philanderer and an aristocrat. He was bri
Jan Hus had the same ideas as Martin Luther but decades earlier. Yet, Luther had the advantage of the printing press that enabled mass communications. Jan Hus was burned at the stake which did not go over well with the H
The title of this episode was "borrowed" from the title of Dr. Ambrogio Caiani's latest book- Flirting with Evil: The Catholic Church in the Age of Total War and Globalisation. In this episode, which covers the first por
In this episode -The dead tell prophecies, there is a vanishing huge eyed doppleganger, and of course, some bloody battles and some serious treachery…all that you expect from a story about the Vikings. The Viking age, tr
The finale of this epic saga! The fascinating and at times, almost unbelievable stories of the initial SAS. Audacious, clever, brave, sometimes reckless and nonchalant, but just packed with incredible stories and people.
The SAS- Special Air Service- who saw that something had to be done in the deserts of North Africa to change the course of WW2 in favor of the Allies. Ingenuity, tragedy, bravery and nonchalance were among the many ingre
Just a few years after the Korean War became a frozen conflict, a military coup came to power in South Korea. Nearly 20 years later, another military coup came to power. During these years, while "The Miracle of the Han
Hard to believe but before the Mona Lisa was stolen, it was viewed as a fine example of Italian Renaissance Art- especially by the intelligentsia and some of the artists in Paris. Others, if they even went into the Louvr
Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is but to do and die. From the poem the Charge of the Light Brigade, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. These two lines are probably the most famous lines from the poem and likely famous across
In a word- Mussolini. Obviously there is more to it than that yet what put him and kept him in power was very ineffective when it came to major military operations. World War I showed the world that war was now conducted
The Elizabethan age, Shakespeare, "this is England", it is a fair question to ponder- how much did Elizabeth have to do with the glory her reign seems to have. One of her goals was her own survival and this she achieved.
Honestly, she should have been called Smokey, or Ashy or even Fiery Mary. It was Elizabeth who should have been called Bloody based her methods of riddance. Mary accused many of heresy which gets a very proscribed method
You likely know Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, maybe even Bloody Mary, but who has heard of Edward VI? The only Tudor that might be less known is Edward's grandfather, Henry VII. Even during Edward's reign, he was often ove
When English Kings are thought of, it is likely Henry VIII that comes to mind. A fascinating and intriguing story, no doubt, yet one that typically venerates and perhaps denigrates Henry at the same time. There are the 6
The Tudor dynasty - With about the thinnest possible claim to the throne, Henry Tudor, who had many tragedies and adventures BEFORE he becomes king, does indeed become King. An incredibly engaging and thought provoking s
The Emu War- Australia 1932. What started out as a great gesture, giving land to farm to returning WW1 veterans, turned into an unfortunate situation with a ridiculous solution. This was the time of The Great Depression
At least 8 movies have been made about the Alamo. This is the battle, the siege, where the Texans lost? Amongst all the game changing events that happened in North America, in about a 20 year period, with the the Alamo k
