    Henry VIII's Closest Advisor, and the Question No One's Settled | History For Sleep | Human Voice

    Henry VIII trusted one man more than almost anyone else at his court, and historians still can't fully agree on what that man did with the power it gave him. This is the story of Sir Anthony Denny, Groom of the Stool and the quiet force behind some of the most consequential moments of Henry VIII's final years.This compressed story covers Denny's interesting rise at the Tudor court, the real danger built into his position (his own predecessor as Groom of the Stool was executed in 1536), the night he broke the law to tell a dying Henry VIII the truth nobody else dared say, and the three days England spent not knowing its king had died. Most of all, it covers the question historians still argue over: was Henry VIII's final will genuinely his own wish, or shaped by the men closest to him in his last, weakened days, men who controlled the only copy of his signature?Hope you enjoy it!Michael

    Did Marco Polo Really Spend 17 Years in China? | Sleep History | Human Voice

    Marco Polo claimed to have spent seventeen years inside the court of the most powerful ruler in the world, travelling across China and the Mongol Empire on missions for Kublai Khan himself. It's one of history's most famous travel stories, and for centuries, serious historians have genuinely argued about whether any of it actually happened.Human Narration is by myself Michael and is delivered in a relaxing, friendly way to help you drift off over some ambient rain sound
