Episodes
  • Wales Whales on the Normans. Gruffydd ap Llewellyn part 2 (or Episode 96)
    Nov 22 2024

    The King of Killer Wales rides again!

    The Second branch of the tale of Gruffydd ap Llewellyn pits our army of idiots against a deluge of dark aged danger!*

    Waling Mid Walians, lethal Irish Vikings and very Nasty Normans are all set to topple the Last King of Wales from his cheese of toast throne!

    Will they succeed?

    Or will the Last Action King of Wales side step them with a surprisingly Saxon alliance with an absolute Svein of a Godwin!

    Join the Silly History Boys for a Wales of a time!

    Please do rate and review and why not tell a friend or a neighbour who you one day seek to supplant as the greatest Kingdom in all Britain!

    Enjoy this rip roaring Norman stomping romp through some little known history? Buy us a Ko-Fi and keep the show going!

    Hi Listener,

    Sometimes it's very hard to make things silly, so this time we're not going to. This is a show Tombo wrote many moons ago after he spoke to some people who were genuinely in the history and did the history... and it wasn't always nice.

    CONTENT WARNING!!! This episode features actual history where not everyone makes it to the end in an actual serious way that isn't funny.

    It's really important though, because perhaps if we hear what people in the past had to do we can try and avoid having to do it again...

    Thanks to Zapsplat for the SFX as always.

    Thanks to Scott Buckley for his amazing music.

    Thanks for listening.

    Remember what others did folks... Then maybe we and our children won't have to do it.
