508 – The Reformation Begins

The British History Podcast ·

2026/09/24

The King was triumphant and his older brother was, if we’re taking the King’s word for it, retired and happily living in the lap of luxury… and most of the King’s other enemies were either imprisoned, dead, or keeping their heads down for fear of the King throwing them into the lap of luxury, too.

504 – At Anslem’s Bec and Call

The British History Podcast ·

2026/07/30

It was July 21st of 1105 and Henry was in Laigle. Just like he was in the late 1070s. And, just like in the late 1070s, he was in conflict with his older brother. Only this time he wasn’t in the town to do something fun, like pee on Robert from a balcony. No, this […]The post 504 – At Anslem’s Bec and Call first appeared on The British History Podcast.

503 – The Holy Ghosting

The British History Podcast ·

2026/07/11

Curthose and his attendants, what remained of them, were rushing as quickly as they could to Rouen… and he was, presumably, crossing his fingers hoping that the people of that city would welcome him. And, honestly, after Caen I’d say it was even odds at best.The post 503 – The Holy Ghosting first appeared on The British History Podcast.

502 – The Cage Match of Bayeux

The British History Podcast ·

2026/06/26

Henry, with the help of Bishop Serlo, had just rebranded himself and his knights as the pious leaders of Greater Christian Normandy by going through little more than a ritualized barber shop scene and, while we know it was just cosplay, the fact is that people fall for bad faith optics all the time Which […] The post 502 – The Cage Match of Bayeux first appeared on The British History Podcast.

501 – Bishop Serlo’s Pop Up Hair Salon

The British History Podcast ·

2026/06/06

For months, messengers had been arriving from Normandy carrying news of the disorder and chaos that was gripping the Duchy. Now, normally, this would have been good news for King Henry. It was no secret that the King wanted to reunite his father’s cross channel empire under himself… nor was it a secret that he […]The post 501 – Bishop Serlo’s Pop Up Hair Salon first appeared on The British History Podcast.

498 – Power and Predictability

The British History Podcast ·

2026/04/24

The death of Duke Robert’s chief ally, William of Breteuil, and the succession crisis it kicked off, was destabilizing the duchy of Normandy. And while I’m sure it was a relief that King Henry and Robert of Meulan had brokered a sort of resolution to the crisis… everyone watching knew their intrusion into Norman […]The post 498 – Power and Predictability first appeared on The British History Podcast.

496 – That’s Me In The Corner

The British History Podcast ·

2026/03/25

For the first time since William the Conqueror, there was going to be a primatial council at Westminster Abbey. This was a HUGE deal. Like… enormous. Anselm had been trying to hold a major reform council for years, but King Rufus had refused. Reform, as you may remember, wasn’t something that the red king was […]The post 496 – That’s Me In The Corner first appeared on The British History Podcast.

We did it, it’s the year 1100…which means it’s time for us to take a moment and place our story in the broader context of global human history. Now, as always, this won’t be exhaustive… nor ultra detailed.

471 – How To Lose Friends and Irritate People

The British History Podcast ·

2025/03/21

It was January of 1095 and Rufus was still at war with his eldest brother, Duke Robert. A war that could have been avoided if the Red King had simply kept his word… or even just apologized. But he wasn’t interested in doing either of those things, so people were dying in Normandy.The post 471 – How To Lose Friends and Irritate People first appeared on The British History Podcast.
