Excellent podcast! You should consider making a series on the War of the Roses. Would be brilliant.

As an Texan I love this podcast thanks for giving us history lessons. You can't get any history on the history Channel anymore

[@beachcomber1able]

He could do one on Texas, "Forget The Alamo". 😁

[@tropics8407]

Masterful ! 🥰

[@Matty95rufc]

Another fantastically entertaining and informative episode

[@doomedrpgproject4473]

Doyle's prose in the opening segment was so awful that I mistook it for an extract from one of Dominic Sandbrook's novels.

The last episode should be agincourt for 90% and the last 10% how the war actually ended 😂

[@ben.mitchell.theater]

The war allegedly ended with Treaty of Picquigny (1475) when Edward 4th formally renounced his claim to the French throne But it's difficult to see why that date is chosen, as the war didn't start as a result of any claim by Edward 3rd to the throne. The war started owing to Edward moving into France to gain some defensive positions to prevent France invading England. Arguably the war didn't finally end until 1558 when France regained Calais from Henry 8th daughter Mary Tudor, at which point England's military presence in France ended.

O for a muse of fire

[@shamsam4]

Good one! I can't find the Dukes of Burgundy episode that was mentioned. Phooey.

[@RD-qz1fm]

Could be "131. Burgundy: Europe's Forgotten Superpower". It's not here on YT but Google will find it

[@shamsam4]

@RD-qz1fm thank you!

[@nickenfield9434]

Hi, There were 2 books mentioned; one on the Black Price and the other the history of the 100 year war. Anybody know what they were?

[@natecanavanar4696]

I could just about hear a bad cover of Land of Hope and Glory during that last reading. Sadly, Doyle indulged in some terribly purple prose.

Was going to be annoyed until they mentioned it's only half time. Was bout to say... Agincourt, Orleans, Joan of Arc!
