The story of Valois Burgundy is one of the most exciting of the Late Middle Ages. The four Valois Dukes of Burgundy used political intrigue, calculated splendor, economic power, and good old-fashioned violence to forge a state out of the many Duchies and Counties between France and the Holy Roman Empire. During Burgundy's height its Dukes were seen by many as the equals of Kings and Emperors and their court was at the center of Western Europe's cultural and political development. And then it all fell apart. Please join me as I explore the history and legacy of this forgotten kingdom.

Frequently Asked Questions Best History Podcasts

What are history podcasts?

How do history podcasts differ from other genres of podcasts?

They often involve extensive research, drawing from primary and secondary sources to provide accurate historical information and analysis.

Are history podcasts based on accurate historical research?

Many history podcasts strive to be based on accurate historical research.

Additionally, some history podcasts adopt a narrative storytelling approach, making the past come alive through vivid storytelling techniques.

Can history podcasts contribute to historical research and scholarship?

While history podcasts primarily aim to educate and entertain listeners, they can contribute to historical research and scholarship. By presenting historical information and analysis in an accessible and engaging manner, history podcasts can inspire curiosity and interest in the subject.

These podcasts provide an opportunity to delve into controversial topics, such as controversial leaders, political movements, or historical debates. By doing so, history podcasts contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the past and encourage critical thinking and exploration beyond commonly discussed historical events.
