    The Civil War

    I had a lot to fun writing and researching this one. Larson, Erik. The Demon of Unrest: Abraham Lincoln & America’s Road to Civil War. HarperCollins UK, 2024.

    Magna Carta

    This time we jump into Magna Carta. I promise I'm more interesting than your high school history teacher. References: Jones, Dan. The Plantagenets : The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England. Viking Peguin Books, 2014. I highly recommend all of Dan's books, as well as his spectacular podcast, This is History: A Dynasty to Die For. You can get really stuck in with John and his dismal reign. If you become a subscriber, you can also hear me on one of the bonus episodes and see where this podcast got its name! I also used Wikipedia for quick name, place and date looks ups. I did use the Magna Carta article quite a bit for dates and such.

    Henry & Anne

    Did Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn Love Each Other—or was it something toxic? Join me as I explore the beginnings of one of the most infamous relationships in history. I used: Weir, A. (2018). The six wives of henry VIII Alison Weir. Grove Press. Highly recommend all of her books, both fiction and nonfiction. I also used Wikipedia for quick date and spelling checks.
