PODCAST

The British History Podcast

The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous.

485 – What Happened?

The British History Podcast ·

2025/10/16

It was a calm August afternoon in Winchester. The Royal Palace (or potentially the Conqueror’s castle… our scribes aren’t precise when discussing the location, but probably the Palace)… either way, Winchester would have been full of activity, but nothing out of the ordinary. Just Royal functionaries carrying out their duties while the King was away, […]The post 485 – What Happened? first appeared on The British History Podcast.

Alright. When we left off, I mentioned that while Rufus was in Normandy, things in England had been getting interesting in his absence. Let’s start with Bishop Walkelin.The post 482 – Eye for an Eye first appeared on The British History Podcast.

The British History Podcast ·

2025/06/23

It’s September of 1096, and Duke Robert was setting out on Crusade, intent on taking the main pilgrim road to Rome and Norman Italy. Joining him were his retainers, soldiers, and supporters… including high ranked figures like Bishop Odo of Bayeux, Count Robert of Flanders, and Stephen of Aumale (who was the forgettable guy that […]The post 478 – A Fire Sale for the Faithful first appeared on The British History Podcast.

477 – Deus Did Not Vult: The People’s Crusade

The British History Podcast ·

2025/06/12

Everyone in England was angry with Rufus. He was fining, taxing, and now torturing his way through the country. And Rufus was mad at everyone in England. Which was why he was fining, taxing, and torturing his way through the country.The post 477 – Deus Did Not Vult: The People’s Crusade first appeared on The British History Podcast.

464 – Rufus’ Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Campaign

The British History Podcast ·

2024/12/14

We don’t really know precisely what Henry got up to once he fled Mont Saint Michel. What few records we have are incomplete and some contradictory. But from those records we /are/ able to glean some details… and when we take the accounts in total, what immediately becomes clear is that, just because Henry was […]The post 464 – Rufus’ Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Campaign first appeared on The British History Podcast.

456 – Law and Order: Durham

The British History Podcast ·

2024/08/23

William Rufus’ first year as King had probably not gone down as he hoped. And as Bishop Odo and his co-conspirators boarded their ships and sought sanctuary in Normandy…Rufus could only return to court and count the rest of his problems..

455: Odo’s Rebellion: Lord of the Flies

The British History Podcast ·

2024/08/14

Word of Rufus’ army, and the destruction of the rebel forces at Tunbridge, had no doubt reached Pevensey and its commander, Robert of Mortain… and I think it’s highly likely that the messengers also reported that the King’s army had turned north, towards Rochester. Bishop Odo’s stronghold.The post 455: Odo’s Rebellion: Lord of the Flies first appeared on The British History Podcast.

446 – Death and Taxes

2024/04/27

When we left off, things were looking pretty bad for William and William’s hope of a legacy. Maine was once again in rebellion against Normandy. But this time half of France seemed to be looking for an excuse to join them. Denmark was preparing an invasion of England … and even William’s brother-in-law, Count Robert […] The post 446 – Death and Taxes first appeared on The British History Podcast.

427 – Hereward: Back Into the Mist

The British History Podcast ·

2023/08/28

Thirty thousand pounds. That’s what the Gesta claims Hereward charged the Normans for the return of their warlike Abbot Turold. Thirty thousand. It is such an obviously inflated number that it almost feels like the scribe is looking directly in the camera and saying “Hey, don’t forget, some of this story is legendary… but we […] The post 427 – Hereward: Back Into the Mist first appeared on The British History Podcast.
