BLIND HISTORY S8 EP7 | Richard III: Villain by Design?

He ruled for just two years, but his reputation has lasted five centuries. Richard III is remembered as a villain — but was he a brutal usurper or the victim of Tudor propaganda amplified by William Shakespeare? In this episode of Blind History, we revisit the Wars of the Roses, the mystery of the Princes in the Tower, Bosworth Field, and the shocking discovery of Richard’s remains — uncovering why England’s most accused king is still on trial today.

The Unkillable Soldier: The Insane Life of Adrian Carton de Wiart

A warplane falls from the sky over Libya. A badly injured man crawls from the wreckage, one eye, one hand, and a will made of iron. What follows is the unbelievable true story of Adrian Carton de Wiart, the soldier who refused to die. Shot in the face, stomach, leg, ear… surviving plane crashes, warzones, and even biting off his own fingers — he broke out of POW camps five times and still asked to return to the front lines. Winston Churchill trusted him. Enemies feared him. History almost forgot him.

BLIND HISTORY S8 EP7 | Charles XII of Sweden: The Warrior King Who Never Backed Down

In this episode of Blind History, Gareth and Anthony dive into the extraordinary life of Charles XII of Sweden — a teenage warrior king who turned an entire empire into a battlefield. From hunting bears as a child to humiliating Peter the Great, sleeping on the ground with his soldiers, and leading charges into blizzards and cannon fire, Charles lived like a man possessed. Fearless, devout, stubborn to a fault, and dead by 37, his story is a brutal masterclass in leadership, hubris, and why history keeps repeating itself.
