    Beyond the Fairy Tale: The Real Lives of Medieval Princesses with Emily Murdoch Perkins

    Welcome to another episode of History Rage, the podcast where we invite historians to cast aside the fairy tales and reveal the raw, unvarnished truth. This week, we delve into the world of medieval princesses, exploring the lives of the queens who never were. Our guide on this journey is historian, novelist, and author of "Regina : The Queens Who Could Have Been," Emily Murdoch Perkins. Emily joins us to rage against the misconceptions surrounding medieval princesses, challenging the notion that they were merely passive, delicate figures. Debunking the Fairy Tale Princess: Emily dismantles the stereotype of the medieval princess as a demure and obedient figure, arguing that these women were often politically astute, educated, and active members of society. She traces the origin of this myth to Victorian nostalgia and the romanticised portrayals in art and media. Real Princesses, Real Power: Discover the true stories of medieval princesses like Margaret of England and Eleanor of Woodstock, who defied expectations and wielded influence in their own right. Explore the concept of "soft power" and how princesses used it to navigate the political landscape of their time. Modern Parallels: Emily examines the enduring challenges faced by women in positions of power, drawing parallels between medieval princesses and contemporary figures like Princess Anne. She highlights the ongoing struggle for autonomy and the right to define one's own role in society.

    The Levellers, Naseby, and the Myth of Civil War Democracy with Mark Turnbull

    Join us as we delve into the tumultuous 17th century with Mark Turnbull, host of the Cavalier Cast podcast and author of "Charles I's Private Life." Together with host Paul Bavill, they tackle the misconceptions surrounding the English Civil War, or the War of Three Kingdoms, and its alleged ties to democracy. Challenging the Myth: Mark Turnbull disputes the notion that the civil wars were a struggle for democracy, arguing that both royalists and parliamentarians were far from democratic ideals. He asserts that the wars were more about religious and power struggles rather than any social revolution. The Role of the Levellers: Discusses the Levellers as a political movement pushing for more social change than the mainstream parliamentarians and Oliver Cromwell. Explains how their influence grew within the New Model Army but ultimately did not lead to the democratic changes they desired. Re-examining Key Battles: Highlights the Battle of Naseby as a turning point but criticises its portrayal as the birthplace of democracy. Explores lesser-known but significant battles like Preston and Winwick that had a profound impact on the power dynamics of the time. The Danger of Oversimplification: Warns against the glorification of certain battles and figures, which can lead to a skewed understanding of history. Emphasises the importance of appreciating the complexities and motivations of the time to truly learn from history.
