1.2 - Robert Walpole (Part 2)
Our first rating! We discuss how Robert Walpole rose from the disaster of the South Sea Company bubble to control all the levers of power in Parliament, his near-loss to Spencer Compton after the death of George I, and his eventual decline and defeat thanks to a disagreement with Spain over a severed left ear.
Recorded on location in Walpole, Massachusetts in the Stone Room at the Walpole Public Library.
