Black Agnes - I'm the Queen of the Castle, you're a dirty Earl of Salisbury Consistently Eccentric History

    • History

A shorter but still very sweet episode this week so as not to interrupt your New Year's Eve merrymaking too much.
We are covering the tale of a Scottish noblewoman who was singularly unimpressed with the English having another bash at conquering her homeland and who decided that she was not going to just let them into her castle.
Despite the presence of siege weapons and being outnumbered by well over 2,000 to 1.
Was she brave? Was she suicidal? Did the English fight fairly or resort to dirty tricks? Find out the answers to these questions and more in the final episode of 2021!
Guest Host: Emma Heathcote
