Was the battle of Trafalgar crucial to the success of the anti-slavery movement? What were attitudes to homosexuality like during Lord Byron’s own lifetime? Was homosexuality considered a ‘vice’ that was implicitly accepted by the privileged classes, but morally unacceptable to the general population of the 18th and early 19th centuries? How common were male and female homosexual relationships behind the scenes? What is History’s most important boat? Would Tom rather find a dinosaur egg or score a century at Lords'? And, would Dominic prefer Wolves to win the premiership or to be asked to star as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit?

Join Tom and Dominic for this week’s bonus episode as they answer some fascinating historical questions.




*The Rest Is History LIVE in 2024*
Tom and Dominic are back onstage this summer, at Hampton Court Palace in London!
