294. Lady Jane Grey: The Axe Falls

‘It had the alchemy of a bitter Tory leadership race’.
Reigning for the shortest period of any British monarch, can Lady Jane even be considered an official queen of England and Ireland? 
In the second of two episodes, tune in to hear Tom and Dominic drill down into the story of her turbulent nine days on the throne, plus her deposition, trial, and execution.

I have one of those mugs of all the post-1066 monarchs and it has Jane on it. It has the block too, which seems slightly unnecessary.

Did you guys just reupload like every episode or something? My feed is flooded.

Apparently 🤣

I think it was because only later episodes were available on youtube, unlike other platforms. I certainly remember when none at all were available on youtube.

I'm very happy, I'm bingeing on the rest is history. Dan Carlin is quiet for a while... Lol. Such a great gift to us from the rest is history.
