About this listen

The second in an uproarious, sardonic and incisive look through English history. In this volume, we discover the actions of the Normans and King Richard, giving clear reasons why we history should hold them in nothing but contempt. It also covers the signing of the Magna Carta, the first bill of rights in England, which came about because a powerless king tried to go to war, realised that he had no-one behind him, and was bullied into signing in order to not simply be executed.

Covers:

William The Conqueror, and the thugs and mercenaries who bought titles and became England's gentry.

William Rufus, and his utterly ridiculous death.

Henry The First, Surnamed Beauclerc, his conquest of Normandy, and death from a finger wound.

Stephen.

Henry The Second, Surnamed Plantagenet, and his constant battles with both the church and his own family.

Richard The First, Surnamed Cour De Lion, and how truly awful he was in every respect.

John, Surnamed Sansterre, Or Lackland, and how tried to lead an army that deserted him and was forced into signing the Magna Carta.
