Hi all,
Incredibly excited to hit publish on this one. Episode 9 of the podcast is now live!
Jeremy is joined by bestselling historian and writer Dan Jones for a discussion on his book, The Wars of the Roses. They discuss the chaos of the 15th century conflicts, why the English monarchy ultimately survived despite all it endured, and the lingering trauma and lessons from it all.
You can watch the episode for free on Substack, or on YouTube if you prefer.
Enjoy!
