82 - Catch up with The History of England Podcast

[ravendisplayed]

I recently finished catching up with the History of England Podcast. I've been enjoying learning the stories behind some of the names that I knew, like King Cnut, Elanor of Aquitaine and Richard Cœur de Lion. It starts with the Roman retreat, and he has made it as far as the beginning of the reign of Edward III, in 104 more or less weekly episodes. You can tell the guy doing it is having a lot of fun and is really into the subject matter, with just a bit of goodhearted pro-Angle and anti-Franc bias. The first few episodes are a bit rough, but he quickly brings up the quality. He focuses a bit more on the major nobility than I would like, but does dip into major social currents and the life of commoners from time to time. If you're interested in history, particularly the stories of the nobility, check it out.
