Show Update November 2021
French Revolution & Napoleon (Grey History)
11/07/21 • 4 min
It's been a rough few weeks but I'm on the mend (hopefully)! My health has been quite poor, and combined with work and regularly moving accommodation the production of Grey History has suffered. I'm unsure when Episode 36, "The Fall of the Monarchy", will be released, but at the latest it will be before the end of January! Believe me when I say that I'll be producing it as soon as I can be!
In the meantime, please send in any questions for the upcoming Q&A episode that will accompany Episode 36. Please also share the podcast with your friends and family - we'll need all the help we can get for next year! Thank you for your patience and support.

France faced bankruptcy. In an effort to avoid the Parlements and an Estates-General, Calonne convened an Assembly of Notables in February 1787 to try to legitimise drastic measures intended to save the state's finances.
