Charles of Orleans, Part One

Passed

07/30/23 • 39 min

Welcome to the first of what looks to be six episodes about Charles of Orleans. To say he had a jam-packed life would be a bit of an understatement. By the end of this first episode he's barely fourteen. I am so happy to share this often overlooked man whose life had a huge impact on the end of the Hundred Years' War and French history in general. Plus, there's some poetry coming up in a few weeks!

Robert of Gloucester

Passed

06/25/22 • 15 min

Please join me for a slightly shorter episode. Henry I's oldest son, Robert of Gloucester was named after his uncle, the first subject of the mini-series. Unlike his uncle though there are not many stories told of him. He was a great warrior and leader, the key to his half-sister's attempt to claim England, and one of the great teachers of his nephew, Henry II. Get bonus content on Patreon
