Episode 2: Magna Carta

This time we jump into Magna Carta. I promise I'm more interesting than your high school history teacher.

I highly recommend all of Dan's books, as well as his spectacular podcast, This is History: A Dynasty to Die For. You can get really stuck in with John and his dismal reign. If you become a subscriber, you can also hear me on one of the bonus episodes and see where this podcast got its name!

I also used Wikipedia for quick name, place and date looks ups. I did use the Magna Carta article quite a bit for dates and such.

Did Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn Love Each Other—or was it something toxic?

Join me as I explore the beginnings of one of the most infamous relationships in history.

I used:

Weir, A. (2018). The six wives of henry VIII Alison Weir. Grove Press.

Highly recommend all of her books, both fiction and nonfiction.

I also used Wikipedia for quick date and spelling checks.
