Season 5 | Bonus: Beasts at feasts

To mark the launch of season 5, we are dishing out a free sample of This is History Plus. Each week Dan and producer Georgia explore strange tangents and delicious Medieval gossip. 

This episode serves up some of the most excessive Mediaeval shopping lists and feasts  including an out-of-place porpoise and several thousand chickens.  

Plus, why Robert the Bruce killed someone in a church, and was Edward II a jock or a nerd? 

This Is History Plus also includes hours of interviews with celebrated historians, the entire backlog of main episodes ad-free and the chance to ask Dan your questions. You can try it out with a seven day trial: head to historypod.com or click ‘try free’ on Apple podcasts. 

A Sony Music Entertainment production.
