To mark the launch of season 5, we are dishing out a free sample of This is History Plus. Each week Dan and producer Georgia explore strange tangents and delicious Medieval gossip.
This episode serves up some of the most excessive Mediaeval shopping lists and feasts including an out-of-place porpoise and several thousand chickens.
Plus, why Robert the Bruce killed someone in a church, and was Edward II a jock or a nerd?
This Is History Plus also includes hours of interviews with celebrated historians, the entire backlog of main episodes ad-free and the chance to ask Dan your questions. You can try it out with a seven day trial: head to historypod.com or click ‘try free’ on Apple podcasts.
A Sony Music Entertainment production.

This is History: A Dynasty to Die For
For this spin-off series, This Is History heads to mediaeval Africa to meet the legendary Mansa Musa, emperor of Mali. How did one man’s generosity upend a continent’s economy? Power, wealth, redemption, and legacy—get ready for the astonishing true story of the richest man who ever lived. Join historian Luke Pepera as he unravels the untold story of Musa’s rise to power, his unimaginable wealth, and the unintended consequences of his legacy. Subscribe for exclusive bonus episodes every week with Dan Jones and ad-free listening to all episodes. Dan Jones returns later this year with Season 7 of the Plantagenet saga.
