Last week, we took a look at the first hundred years of crusading, and the tactics involved in fighting in and around the crusader kingdoms of the Middle East. In this episode, we follow the crusaders as they shift their lens southward to Egypt, and make a bold attempt to capture one of the biggest prizes of the day. This week, Danièle speaks with Thomas Smith about why the Fifth Crusade targeted Egypt in the first place, how this campaign differed from the many that had come before, and just how close this crusade came to changing history as we know it.<br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

Did one of the Princes in the tower survive!? The Lambert Simnel affair might be over, but Henry VII has another pretender on his hands — a pesky Flemish fella called Perkin Warbeck. His agenda: claiming to be Prince Richard, the lost son of Edward IV, AKA one of the princes in the tower. As absurd as his claim may sound, Perkin poses a real problem for Henry. There's no proof that Perkin isn’t who he claims to be... there’s no grave, no proof the real prince is really dead. What’s more, he is backed by Charles VIII of France and the vengeful Margaret of Burgundy. It’s a dangerous combination. – Don't forget to catch this week's bonus episode where Dan delves deeper into history behind each episode. This week, Dan tells producer Al why Henry Tudor’s enemies thought dress-up was the best strategy and why Charles VIII of France lets England off the hook.

A conversation with Derek Krueger (University of North Carolina at Greensboro) on homoerotic language and imagery in the works of Symeon the New Theologian (eleventh century). These passages are unusual enough that earlier editors and scholars were made uncomfortable about them. We discuss their devotional context but also the broader context of homoeroticism and homophobia in the monastic world of that time. The conversation is based on Derek's recent monograph, Monastic Desires: Homoeroticism, Homophobia, and the Love of God in Medieval Constantinople (Cambridge University Press 2026).
If there’s one topic that continually draws people to the Middle Ages, it’s the Crusades. Templars, assassins, nomadic horse archers, in what is at times a very hostile environment makes for a history that regularly turns on a knife edge. But the story of the Crusades is much bigger, geographically, culturally, and politically than the same old stories would suggest. This week, Danièle speaks with Nicholas Morton about the wider world of the Crusades, the cultural and technological exchange it led to, and the importance of some forgotten individuals from this moment in history.<br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

Pretty soon, the challengers find themselves at the Battle of Stoke.

<p>Lauren Malloy was a baby when her mother, Lori, was murdered in East Providence, Rhode Island. For thirty years, no one told her. Everyone said Lori died of natural causes. Then a stranger sent Lauren a message — and the lie collapsed. Now Lauren is investigating her own mother’s murder. She’s recorded hundreds of hours of interviews with law enforcement, family, childhood friends, and people who won’t stop contradicting each other. Every answer opens a darker question. Every person she trusts seems to be hiding something. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the people she trusts may be the ones with the most to hide. A 10-part true crime investigation hosted by the victim’s daughter. Lauren’s mission: to finally uncover the identity of Lori’s killer. </p><p>Audible subscribers can binge all 10 episodes early and ad-free right now.
