    In our final episode on the fall of Tawantinsuyu, the Inca's big rebellion against the Spanish begins. Who will come out on top, Inca or Pizzaro? Or will the exiled Almagro return from Chile and defeat them all? More importantly, just how many children did Huayna Capac have?

    Ep. 12: Charles V: Holy Roman Emperor

    The King of Spain in the 1520s wasn't Spanish at all. But he and his Austrian family would come to dominate much of Europe and indeed the world as well, so we probably ought to talk about him, shouldn't we? Check out his Habsburg Jaw at https://historyofthenewworldpodcast.wordpress.com/
