    About to listen to this but best compliment I can pay you, Chris, is that this diversion to a History episode is proof of how excellent this podcast is.
    I can't imagine another podcast that marries and covers so many varying political views, economic views, health topics, social topics, technology topics and now it seems, History!
    Your desire to just follow what you find interesting and speak with real curiosity with thought leaders in those topics, is what's made this so, so good. I never squirm at a topic or guest when I see it pop up on my feed - this podcast has taught me the value of appreciating differing opinions and perspectives, to help find my own.

    "Absolutely loved this episode! It feels like a guilty pleasure for all Englishmen to dive into medieval history, especially when it comes to figures like Richard II.

    I remember watching David Starkey's 'Music and Monarchy', and his focus on Henry'V's Chapel Royal. Not only was he an advocate of the unique "English Sound' , but he was a composer as well. According to Dr. Starkey, he took the entire Chapel Royal, with its choristers, vestments, and plate to France when he invaded, and they were at Agincourt as well. Thanks for this excellent video.

    I'm American, but even I can tell Dan's accent is quite a bit posher here than on his history videos.
    Considering the emphasis on inheritance at the time, someone should have suspected that the French king's madness might be passed down to his descendants.

    I was given a book over 60 years ago titled Henry of Monmouth (I still have it). I was a little disappointed because I wanted Nancy Drew but I started reading it and finished it within a couple of days. At the time I didn't realize he was a real person that took another few years. Fascinating story.

    1:34 He got shot in the Fuqin face with an arrow when he was 16, fought on for 30 minutes, then had it removed weeks later when his doctor invented tools and procedures to save his life, and then spent weeks recovering and lived before the times of pharmaceuticals, germ theory, and wound care protocols. In-freakin-sane. Such a bad ass

      Was it weeks later? I didn’t know that.. yikes. How’d he even survive with the arrow stuck in for so long, thought the operation was literally in the tent after battle…

    Currently reading this (signed ) book; absolutely fascinating and a great read. Can’t put it down.…get the book, it is really good. By the way , the book title , Henry V, The astonishing rise of Englandˋs greatest ˋ Warrior ´King, not Englandˋs greatest king. Slight difference. Very enjoyable read.
