A Nice Cup Of Histortea A Nice Cup of Histortea

After yet another impromptu hiatus, we are back with another episode of historical storytelling (and an apology for our absence). This time we discuss the story of Rapunzel. Beloved fairytale, or true story? 

And in this week's ridiculous death we discover why keeping a little bit of your ex-partner with you should be kept metaphorical.

This week we take a more sombre look at history, by exploring the life and writings of Anne Frank. We tell her story and that of her family, what they endured and suffered and why we need to remember them.

This week we look into the bloodiest battle to ever take place on English soil, ending a period of conflict within the wider Wars of the Roses. 

And in this week's ridiculous death we look at why figs are still funny - deathly funny...

This week we discuss the non-living legend, Julius Caesar. Who was he? What did he accomplish? What sort of legacy did he leave? 

We also discuss why you need to take care when juggling a pear.

This week for a Dark Cup of Histortea we explore one of our award nominees, Bhangarh Fort - so haunted that you are banned from going at night. 

In our ridiculous death we look at why you should be careful around over-amorous geographical features.
