Ep 132 - Medieval Failsons: The Idiot Boys of Eleanor of Aquitaine
🕑 Added 2023-09-13 14:15:59 +0000 UTCpatrons, here is your ad-free version of this week's regular episode. we answered a question from Buddy Dude. the final episode of the Dante's Inferno will drop this Friday, so get ready for that!
last time, we talked about two famous Medieval women, Hildegard of Bingen and Eleanor of Aquitaine. they were both titans in their own respects but there's a small issue with Eleanor's legacy and that's her 4 idiot failsons. while Eleanor's daughters were apparently quite proficient, her 4 sons who survived to adulthood, Henry the Young King, Richard, Geoffrey, and John, were all giants morons who failed spectacularly at being or attempting to be Kings of England. so join us as we look at their myriad failures as they tried to rule the realm or ended up fighting one another and their dad to try and rule.

I'm late getting to this episode but I would like to request that Eleanor do an entire podcast in a French accent.

Cannot imagine how pissed Eleanor would have gotten just watching these huge dumbasses fumble the bag so badly. She did all the work for them!
