The Time The Dutch Ate Their Prime Minister

For the Dutch Republic, 1672 was a series of existential catastrophes that nearly saw the nation swallowed by France's Louis XIV. But the internal push and pulls that culminated in the brutal murder and partial consumption of the man who'd run the place for a couple of decades actually began much, much earlier, when Martin Luther (perhaps) hammered his Ninety-Five Theses into a church door, sparking a flowering of dissonant thought across Europe, as well as a brutal regime of repression to try to tamp it down. Across the 80 year struggle for Dutch independence from Spain, a succession of Princes of the House of Orange ably managed the country's political and military affairs. But once the war ended, Dutch nobility preferred to decentralize power through a Republican model of government, putting the House of Orange and its supporters on the margins. This went pretty well, right up until it didn't, and as the calamities of 1672 unfolded, public anger against the longtime administrator of the country, Johan de Witt, grew into the kind of blind rage that leads to dangerous mob violence. In The Hague that August, it led all the way to cannibalism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A Glenconner Getaway | Part One

We are taking a voyage this week with Dominick Dunne, who is attending the 60th birthday party bash of Colin Tennant, 3rd Baron Glenconner at the end of 1986. Colin had a great party the decade before and Princess Margaret is no stranger to the party time hedonistic time happening on the island. Dunne attends this celebration, but this is not Nick’s first introduction to Princess Margaret. In the first part of this getaway episode, we explore Dunne’s previous relationship with Princess Margaret, fill in a bit of backstory on her land and home in Mustique, and get to the boat, right on time, for Colin’s party. It truly is a family affair. All sources can be found at doneanddunne.com. Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!

The Glamorous Gabors | Mama Jolie Gabor

Jolie Gabor, mother of the famous sisters, grew up in Budapest, Hungary, just in time for the tumultuous 20th century to unfold. Her mother's family was in the jewelry business - put a pin in that - and as a girl, Jolie dreamed of a life in the theater. Her parents were having none of it, and forced her into a not overwhelmingly wanted marriage that almost immediately produced three daughters. But rather than give up on her acting dreams, she just transferred her drive for celebrity and notoriety onto those daughters. The rest, as they say, is history.

Catherine Parr | The Queen Who Survived (Part Two)

As Lady Latimer after her second wedding in 1534, Catherine, her husband, and her step-children found themselves enmeshed in the growing public anger at Henry's moves to impose his new religion, as well as various other political gripes. In 1536 and 1537, a genuine uprising occurred, with Catholic rebels dragging Lord Latimer - a fellow Catholic - from their home to be pressed into service against the King. Catherine and her step-children were held hostage for months, and Lord Latimer found himself slung up in the Tower of London for some time on suspicion of conspiring with the rebels. The whole episode was enough to leave the family wary of their digs in North Yorkshire and set their sights on olde London town. Finally, Catherine was back in civilization - and at court - and though her much older husband would succumb to ill health in 1543, her adventures in the capitol city were only just beginning.
