    The Lost King - Where Is King Harold Buried?

    The year 1066 in England is commonly known as the year of the Battle of Hastings. It was the battle that ended the Anglo-Saxon rule in England and opened the path for a new kingdom, a Norman kingdom, led by William The Conqueror. History though is cruel - it remember the victors. What happened though to King Harold? The Bayeux Tapestry depicts King Harold as famously being shot in the eye by an arrow. A fatal wound indeed. Where though, was he buried? This is where the mystery begins...did he even die at this famous battle? Support the show Thank you for listening to our podcast. We really do appreciate your time spent with us!

    The Lost Colony of Roanoke

    A ship from England arrives on the North East Coast of America in 1590 expecting to see a thriving colony, but instead the crew find the settlement abandoned. Strangely though, there are no signs of a struggle, but one clue stands out - the word 'croatoan' is carved into a wooden post. What does this mean and where has the small community gone? They cannot just disappear. Join us in this episode as we analyse the latest archaeological evidence that may have solved this mystery once and for all. We also take a look at who the very earliest settlers were to the North American continent and discover that the history of colonisation in this land stretches back far further than many would realise.

    The Rise of the Dead

    In Victorian England, death was everywhere. Epidemics were rife, working conditions were unbearable for the poor and child mortality was high. Victorian graveyards were literally full, overflowing even. There was a trade in the dead though. Body snatchers operated under the cover of darkness to feed the demand for corpses - science required these for medical advancements to happen. However, during these dark days, there was a greater horror. In the panic to bury the dead quickly, did anyone really check to see if the deceased were really dead...? Surely, our Victorian ancestors didn't bury people alive....? Support the show Thank you for listening to our podcast. We really do appreciate your time spent with us!
