    Elizabeth II: life of the week

    This April marks the centenary of the birth of Elizabeth II. In this special episode of our Life of the Week series, historian Kate Williams guides Charlotte Vosper through the late Queen’s life, picking a key moment from each decade that illuminates the monarch's personality, public role, and private life. How did she feel when she unexpectedly became heir apparent to the throne? What did she really think about the media furore that surrounded her and her family? And how should we look back on her reign, almost four years on? ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Join Professor Kate Williams for a six-part HistoryExtra series uncovering the little-known stories behind some of history’s most famous queens. You’ll meet Cleopatra, the brilliant strategist who fought Rome for Egypt’s survival; Marie Antoinette, the queen blamed for a revolution she couldn’t control, and Elizabeth II, whose image shaped modern royalty. Across millennia, we’ll explore how royal women navigated power, politics, and expectation and how their legacies were shaped long after their deaths. Find out more at historyextra.com/academy.

    Retracing Eleanor of Castile's final journey

    At the end of the 13th century, England was gripped by grief as news of the queen's death shook the nation. Eleanor of Castile's funeral procession from Lincoln to London would become one of the most remarkable journeys in medieval English history – and would also be immortalised in stone through the famous Eleanor Crosses. More than seven centuries later, Alice Loxton has retraced that historic route on foot – and, in her latest book, Eleanor: A 200-Mile Walk in Search of England's Lost Queen, she explores the landscapes that connect us to this past. Emily Briffett caught up with Alice to find out more about how 12 stone crosses act as enduring testaments to royal love – and the history that we can uncover for ourselves by simply stepping outside.

    How to find a billion-dollar shipwreck

    In 1708, the Spanish galleon San José was sunk by a British warship off the coast of Colombia, vanishing beneath the waves with a treasure trove of unimaginable riches. The wreck's exact location remained a mystery for centuries – until a maritime archaeologist named Roger Dooley made it his life’s mission to find it. In this episode, Julian Sancton tells Jon Bauckham about Dooley’s incredible search, set against a backdrop of secrecy, sacrifice and Cold War tensions. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Don't miss our alternate history feature on the War of the Spanish Succession, and what might have happened had Charles II produced an heir: https://bit.ly/4lUL7h1 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Embarquez pour un voyage passionnant dans les coulisses de la résistance française pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Franck Ferrand vous plonge au cœur d'une histoire fascinante, où la quête de l'indépendance et de la souveraineté nationale se mêle à l'aventure de la conquête spatiale. Découvrez l'épopée de l'ingénieur Jean-Jacques Barré, qui, dès 1941, s'emploie en secret à développer une fusée de combat, malgré l'occupation allemande. Entouré de résistants courageux, il réussit à préserver ses recherches, au prix de nombreux sacrifices et de péripéties rocambolesques. Suivez les tribulations de ces pionniers de l'aéronautique française, qui, après la Libération, mettent leur savoir-faire au service de la construction d'un programme spatial national. Des essais hasardeux du prototype EA 1941 aux premiers vols réussis de la fusée Véronique, vous serez témoins des tâtonnements et des avancées décisives qui ont permis à la France de devenir la troisième puissance spatiale mondiale. Mais cette histoire ne se résume pas seulement à des exploits techniques. C'est aussi le récit d'hommes et de femmes qui, dans l'ombre, ont œuvré pour la grandeur de leur pays, bravant les interdits et les dangers. Leurs noms - Dubouloz, Gentil, Barré - sont autant de symboles de la ténacité et de la créativité de la résistance française. Laissez-vous captiver par ce récit passionnant, qui mêle habilement les enjeux stratégiques, les innovations scientifiques et les actes de bravoure. Prêt à décoller pour une aventure hors du commun ?
