Turns out, wearing the crown is the easy part. Henry IV thought kingship would bring control—but the treasury’s running dry, rebellions are flaring, and his grip on power is slipping fast. Then his heir takes an arrow to the face. This is the story of a king learning the hard way that ruling is a whole different game—and the consequences are about to get bloody.

<p>While Alexander the Great's successors were fighting over control of his empire, Celtic-speaking migrants were moving east along the Danube River, mostly unseen and unnoticed by the Greeks to their south. The Macedonian kings should've been paying more attention, because soon, those Celts would launch one of the largest invasions of Greece in recorded history.</p><p>Patrick's book is now available!

<p>The Celts invaded Greece in 280-279 BC, an entirely unforeseen breakthrough of a nearly unknown people into the mainstream of the Hellenistic world. Tens of thousands of Celts poured through the passes of the Balkans, killed a Macedonian king in battle, and ravaged huge swathes of the heart of the Greek world.

Part of the reason a lot of people figure nothing much went on during the Middle Ages is because we’ve lost a whole lot of sources telling us what actually <i>did</i> happen. Through malice and misfortune, medieval manuscripts have been destroyed in their thousands. So, how do we know what may have gone up in smoke? And what can we do to keep our beloved manuscripts safe? This week, Danièle speaks with Robert Bartlett about the manuscripts we’ve lost by accident and by design, and how these precious documents are being preserved today.<br /><br />You can support this podcast on Patreon - go to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/medievalists" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><b>https://www.patreon.com/medievalists</b></a><br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

When you survive an arrow shot to the face like Henry V did, you don’t waste your second chance. So when he’s finally crowned in 1413, it’s all systems go. He ruthlessly slaps down challenges to his rule, and launches a lightning military campaign that puts England back in the big leagues. English rule is restored in France for the first time in generations. His heir will be the first and only English monarch to be crowned King of France. This is the story of a monarch who became a legend in his own lifetime, and whose mythology still continues to press upon our present… But little did Henry know there’s an original sin at the heart of his reign that’s going to ricochet across England for centuries.

Μέσα από το παράδειγμα του λόφου του Αγίου Γεωργίου στη Λευκωσία, εξετάζουμε πώς η βιοαρχαιολογία και οι επιστημονικές μέθοδοι μάς επιτρέπουν να κατανοήσουμε τις μετακινήσεις πληθυσμών και τις κοινωνικές αλληλεπιδράσεις στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο. Συζητάμε το άρθρο της με τίτλο Human mobility in Byzantine Cyprus: A case study from the Hill of Agios Georgios, Nicosia και εστιάζουμε στις προοπτικές που ανοίγει η έρευνα για την κατανόηση του βυζαντινού κόσμου.</p><p><br /></p><p>Η Δρ Ευθυμία Νικήτα σπούδασε Αρχαιολογία στο Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης και απέκτησε διδακτορικό στη Βιολογική Ανθρωπολογία από το Πανεπιστήμιο του Cambridge.

Παράλληλα, έχει συγγράψει τέσσερις οδηγούς ανοικτής πρόσβασης για τη βιοαρχαιολογία και τη στατιστική ανάλυση, που χρησιμοποιούνται από χιλιάδες επιστήμονες παγκοσμίως.

<p>The European Iron Age is known almost solely through archaeology, and the material record of the period is still showing us fascinating new aspects of ancient life.

On September 4, 925 – 1100 years to the day this episode is released – King Æthelstan was crowned at Kingston-upon-Thames.

This week, Danièle speaks with David Woodman about Æthelstan’s life, his rule, and his attempt to unite the kingdoms of Britain.<br /><br />You can join Danièle's class <i>Calamity and Change: An Introduction to the Fourteenth Century</i> at <a href="https://medievalstudies.thinkific.com/courses/calamity-and-change" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><b>https://medievalstudies.thinkific.com/courses/calamity-and-change</b></a> - use the coupon code <i>backtoschool</i> to save 15% <br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

Despite the humiliation at Eleusis in 167 and the troubles in Judea, Antiochus organizes an enormous festival in Daphne to rival the games of Lucius Aemilius Paulus in Amphipolis, showcasing the prosperity of the empire that looked as strong as it ever had before. He would follow this celebration with an anabasis into the Upper Satrapies, but would die in Iran in November 164, and the dynasty would begin on a dark path towards its eventual decline.

France is slipping through her fingers. With the kingdom on the brink of collapse, Queen Isabeau of Bavaria makes a desperate move: she offers her daughter’s hand to England’s King Henry V. It’s a bold bid for peace—but peace comes at a price. As the English celebrate their triumph, they soon discover that ruling a broken kingdom is far more costly than conquering it. This is a tale of uneasy alliances, royal ambition, and the brutal cost of diplomacy. Listen back to season six, episode twelve for the last time France was under English control.
